The whining in the Entropic's statement about how "extremely difficult / almost impossible" the project was is what gets me. Come on--you're grown-ass adults that signed a contract to deliver X work by Y date. Nobody cares how hard it was. I've been on the other side of the coin many times, managing a small vendor who's in over their head, and I try to have empathy, but where is the project manager? Where are the milestones and checkpoints? They didn't suddenly stop-work out of the blue. I'd guess multiple checkpoints were missed, and everyone knew this was coming.

And that’s not even mentioning the Easter Egg! Good grief!



Exactly. A badge is not really rocket science, there are no real hidden risks.

I read about the $20 target price, which I find quite hard to reach, but that is something you know before you agree to deliver X by date Y costing Z
