Maybe elaborate a little? Or post a link that works?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Maybe they could hire a community manager while they're at it?

It sounds like a replacement for Tolero.

Good. She was terrible.

Are you familiar with the Theseus Ship principle? I'm curious how this applies to game companies like SSG.

Nope. I am not a Marketing major.

(I'm assuming that's some sort of Marketing thing.)

Actually its philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

In a nutshell: let's say I have a ship with a rotten timber, and I replace it. Then another timber rots, and I replace that. Take this to its logical conclusion: at some point, every timber on the ship has been replaced.

Is it still the same ship?


Just for fun, let's extend that logic to a game company, let's call it "Standing Stone Games". The company really isn't the building or the equipment or the products, its the people who work there. So, if, one at a time, each of them is replaced, is it still the same company? And will the company still be shit when this is over?

Depends on what you mean by "same."

According to the law, a company is its own separate entity with its own rights (including freedom of speech).

In the legal sense, yes, it's the same company.

Well that's the beauty of philosophy. There really is no right answer.

However, you are technically correct. And we all know that's the best kind of correct.

They’re definitely looking for somebody with actual marketing chops.  That’s a great thing since Tolero is so fucking bad at her job I doubt that idiot has ever seen a single marketing class.

Still, it’s not going to change the fact that this new person - regardless of how qualified he or she is - is going to be reporting directly to the most halfassed halfwit that SSG has.

Odds are that they’ll only attract bottom tiered applicants anyway. Anybody with half a brain will step into the place and immediately see how fucked the place is, then nope their way back out the door.

Tolero use to be a community manager so she has no skills for reading code.
They expect her replacement to actually work instead of eating Cordo's leftovers and sitting in the hot tub.
It seems SSG has a hard time reading game queries, so that proves they lack the knowledge to understand the game.

They lack a dedicated DBA. All they have is one of the developers who "knows databases" and does all the DBA stuff in between nerfing horses and coding reaper difficulties. An dedicated DBA, given enough time and competence, could preform literal miracles for this game.

Yeah, and then they promoted that drooling idiot to run their marketing even though said idiot has obviously never taken as much as an introduction to marketing course.  It indicates that those making personnel decisions at SSG are as unqualified as their personnel.

I maintain it comes down to money. The job is open to whoever will do it for poverty wages.

How could they even monetize this game more? I suppose human creativity is infinite and f****** over your customer is definitely a good way to be creative.

They're hiring someone to suck on Cordo's man boobs? Why not just bring in Marshal Lannes? He's already doing that for free.

They need somebody that won't vapor lock every time they seal their lips around a micropenis.

I'm using the same axe my dad gave me when I started my apprenticeship. Over the past 20 years it's had 1 new head and 2 new handles.

Cordo is a pig, not a whale.
