These three things (plus your addendum of working together to solve stupidly hard problems) are basically why I love going to work every day. (I work at Epic on Team Online, aka th…

We’d love to, but have been told that our providers don’t yet have enough capacity for us to flip our entire fleet over to c5’s just yet.
