Check my other comment, I found a quote saying they have about 1000 employees. At $100k/yr average salary, that's about $100M/yr just to pay the salaries. Even if they underpay at $50k/yr, thats $50M/yr. That money is simply being burned. This whole project is a classic example of feature creep and sunk cost fallacy.
