Friday Meeting:
CEO: Good morning guys, I had a good sleep last night. How about BP sales now ?
Sales: Still nightmare boss, sales doesn't improve !
CEO: How is that possible ? We already give what they want.
Sales:
People said American doesn't like math in school,
but they actually know how to calculate. Check this out:
CEO: Dang it, they're not that stupid after all.
Sales : How to do then ? Before we talking about bonus, now, we're talking about about getting broke and layoff.
CEO: Yeah, EA stock crash today, I feel the pain.
Design: We can just reduce stars/level from 10 to 6 then it will be exact match.
CEO: How, ? show me the math.
Design: 5K/star * 6 star/level * 6 level = 180K .
CEO: I think reduce from 10 to 7 will more make sense.
Let me think over the weekend, will let you now.
To be continue.

CFO: What is happening? Why our sales is plumetting to zero,
we are not talking about bonus anymore, our job is on the line now.
CEO: Agree, let made challenges as easy as before.
Design: Done boss, easy peasy.
Marketing: We lost one week, no body playing right now, their BP is only 1-2, they won't make it to max level so they won't consider buying BP.
CEO: What is your idea ?
Marketing: How about give them free 10 level ?
CEO: Great idea. Let wrap this meeting then.
Marketing : Hold on, some people just like to play and have fun. They don't care about challenges.
Also, most people can't play everyday. They only can play on the weekend.
CEO: Should we put back +2 level and reduce star to 3,000 XP ?
Marketing: I think so.
Design: No big deal, we already know how to do it. Just need another green light.
CEO: Hmmm....let me think again.
To be continue..

Wife: Can you check why our kid keep crying everytime play Apex ??
Kid: Why my 9 stars suddenly dissepear, I play so long & hard to get it !
Dad(CEO): What ?? Let me start emergency meeting again !
--------------------------------------------
CEO : What is wrong with you guys, we should build trust but we keep loosing it !
QA: We just follow last year, reset every week boss as per design.
CEO: Yeah, but last year, we had logarithmic progress so no body cares.
But this time is linear and painful. How can nobody think about it ?
QA: We had firedrill everyday boss since BP fiasco started, no chance to breath.
CEO: What to do then ? give them +11 BP now ?
Dev: We can, but they won't play the games and next time they always demand free BP.
How about just do double XP so they have to earn it back and keep playing ?
CEO: Good idea but how to avoid it next time ?
I hear we had warnings in the Apex forum but nobody notice ??
Dev/QA : No body from Dev/QA read apex forum, we just read Reddit.
CEO : Next time, you guys need to read Apex forum as well.
Dev/QA: Ok boss.
