A Fairy Tale
Once upon a time …….
There was a game developer who wanted to program the best railway simulation ever. Experience he had, for many years ago he had already developed one. He picked a potent investor, agreed on a timetable and started.
After initial successes, it was discovered, it still lacks something special, which until now did not exist: Moving people on the platforms, passengers boarding and leaving the train. So he wrote line after line of code to solve this difficult problem and forgot completely on the agreed timetable, which end had passed by now already by some time.
The investor got very angry and demanded: next month the game goes on sale or finish! Oh dear, no more time to sort out existing mistakes and shortcomings. So for the better and the worse, an unfinished game went on sale. This disgruntled whoever bought the game and amused the rest.
Over this the game developer got infuriated so much that he immediately stopped the further development of the game.
Since the investor did not want to part with additional money, he packed the remaining junk in a box and gave it for a token amount to three employees who were previously employed dusting off PCs. They painted the scrap in gold colour and sold it to the general public as a great treasure.
And if in the meanwhile they did not die ….
As I said: a fairy tale
