1 - Comparing a community of millions to a community of hundreds is just plain stupid as well as comparing Thecrims to valve and Riot games, text based games are entirely different than game engines based games, Valve has their own engines " source engine - source 2 engine " for example (Dota 2 runs on source 2 engine and CS:GO runs on source engine), Riot games made their own proprietary game engine as well, if i'm not mistaken, i guess TheCrims runs on the positive energy of its community and the love and mercy of jesus himself (that what kept it alive all of those years) and Angular (Framework that is derived from Java-script) which makes the game basically a web-application, but a HUGE one for that matter !, so comparing a web-application to a game engine is a stupidity in its purest form.
2 - planning events and building maps and deploying them into the game is not as hard as you think because they already have game tools that helps a lot in this process, basically they don't write code from scratch unlike TheCrims team they don't have that kind of luxury or tools, they write raw code every time they want to introduce something new, even the smallest function, they don't make it with a few clicks, they have to write it or write plugins for it.
3 - "delivering on time", when you have a massive team that work around the clock and constant funds that being poured into your organization you can basically deliver before the deadline and get everything ready beforehand and that is why they're called organizations not Crew or team.
now it's an entirely different matter when your only motive for work is your passion for the game and the hungry kids in africa, because i don't think that the pennies they make as a profit from the game is enough motive for them to make them drop their jobs and their daily life and become dedicated to the game 24/7. and yet they deliver a quality content for everyone to enjoy and it's FREE!.
4 - i don't see any failing in round 99.1, or maybe you meant something else, couldn't get the context of what you meant by that but either way, this is called intermediary rounds or a filler rounds, they use that when preparing for the next main round takes longer than expected or they're ironing out bugs (sometimes Kylo Ren appears and it takes a wrong turn and everything gets messy and they have to rewrite A LOT of code just to fix a very tiny detail or add a small function) and i don't see any failing or shame in that, and making an android APP for the game is heinous task, it may seem easy to everyone else but trust me it's a hassle !
5 - If you want to compare, Thecrims deliver bugs free rounds, i rarely see bugs during the rounds since i knew this game and that is how they want to deliver round 100 because if the round is bugged the hell will break loose and shit will go sideways and it won't be enjoyable at all and it will be a hell of mess to clean up. when valve rolled out Dota 2 reborn on Source 2 engine (it was the first game ever to use that insanely advanced engine) they kept ironing out bugs for a straight 2 months on an hourly basis, around 250Mb patches every couple of hours for a week and 1 patch everyday for the rest of the 2 months. Thecrims does that before the round starts, that is something you should really appreciate from the bottom of your heart.
6 - to sums it up, you don't get to complain when you get everything for free, the game is not even considered a pay to win, you can easily get credit for free inside the game (god bless whoever came up with this idea), you don't see ads inside the game because you have credit that you got for free from the team that you're being a dick-head towards.
P.S, you're offensive !
