>>56203594Cover's management shakeup apparently was approx. end of 2022, so if Jap needed some time to settle in and figure things out and lay out a strategy for the next gen, they probably were not really-really hiring until like Jan/Feb and then from there on had to sort through thousands of apps. You must consider that, if Omega basically had promising future hires bookmarked on his end which would clear up a lot of the busy work, Jap might have taken all his notes and plans and priorities and dumpster fired them to start over from scratch to not have his taint reach out into the next gen. Starting from truly 0 also takes time. So it took Jap a while to wrap it up but he clearly did his homework and put reasonable thought into strategic hires for it to not just be Council 2.0 blah but feel more like an exciting return to form like early Myth - not only did he accomplish this but exceeded it IMO. So it took a long fucking time but the cream rose to the top regardless. Was it worth the wait? Yes actually, although it would have been nice if we got exactly-this a year ago, well we didn't. Maybe it's a good thing - if you wanted EN3 pre-Jap we might have had something completely different, and almost guaranteed we would not have our adorable doggies. Some actually the more I think about it yes it was worth the wait, it had to be done this way for holoEN's future to be restored.
