It's Remedy Games. It's a big deal for them, and their use of D
is a big deal for us, big enough that we can bend our procedure
for them. They were also under severe time pressure. They began
using UDAs the same day I implemented them. Remedy could very
well be the tipping point for D, and I'm not going to allow
them to fail.
It's also not a conflict of interest - what they want from D is
really what we all want from it.
I understand that some of you may be frustrated by my giving
their needs priority, but I hope that the end result will be
better for all of us than if I didn't, and that you'll indulge
me with this.
Maybe this is a special occasion.
To have such a big enterprise starting to use D, maybe there are
more pros than cons.
