It seems almost self evident the game would not have been greenlit without a form of DRM. Most of the comments here are lamenting the game having DRM, but they're comparing having the game with DRM vs having the game without DRM, not having the game with DRM vs not having the game at all.

> we should have an SQL database in the frontend

Although not SQL, this is essentially the approach Meteor takes where you have your same DB on the front and back end https://www.meteor.com/

This is very cool. I'm heavily invested in Vue.js, but seeing these kinds of features of the horizon with React makes me a bit jealous.

The APIs do see unintuitive, but as Dan said, they are not finalized yet. I remember trying to implement a drag and drop component in React and having a bit of trouble with complicated APIs. Hopefully this keeps getting cleaner.

> William Whyte‘s rule: Virtually all corporate relocations involve a move to a location which is closer to the CEO’s home than the old location.

Of course, it's hard to pick any location farther than Seattle from DC.

I'm trying to understand the problem this solves. Let's say you have an HTTP API which allows users to update their email address:

    POST /api/user/:username/update_email

But you change the application to require API clients to send the user_id instead of the username.

    POST /api/user/:user_id/update_email

Wouldn't you still need to mandate that all clients are updated regardless of whether you use this tool as an abstraction layer to your API?

There are some other issues for users trying to follow along. I hit my next snag from moment.js not being imported, and not having the filters domain, amFromUnix and amTimeAgo not being found. I see you addressed these points later on in your post notes, kind of as an "excercise left for the user". After that point, I just read the article and stopped trying to follow along. Perhaps it wasn't your intent to make a step-by-step type article, but I'm just sharing the experience I had trying to go along one step at a time. I appreciated the article, especially because right now we're starved for Angular 2 content, and there's not a lot out there yet.

Just a minor point, but your first stories.component.html snippet doesn't include {{i}}, so the way it renders in the browser is different than your screenshot

Fails for me pretty early on:

Could not start watchman; falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events. Visit http://ember-cli.com/user-guide/#watchman for more info. Cannot read property 'serialize' of undefined TypeError: Cannot read property 'serialize' of undefined

I installed watchman and received the same error

Looks like this has been reported elsewhere: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/1905

Multiple microservices are supposed to have different data backends, so that they are completely independent. Splitting your data up this way isn't all roses, but ideally the services are isolated so an update to one doesn't affect the others.

One method: My employer has asked me to keep some information confidential, including its employee compensation. I'm sure that you expect your employees to keep a certain level of confidentiality about information as well, including compensation.

I know very little about the subject, but when multi-core processors were first introduced, I remember that the general wisdom was that server software could benefit, from its highly concurrent nature, but games and graphics would not, because they are generally single threaded. I wonder if the general wisdom at the time was wrong, or if there has been a big shift to take advantage of multiple cores. I'm guessing the later.
