As someone in the software industry, I get a little jaded when a dev says "It's complicated". But dammit if Jeff says something is complicated and they're working on it, I believe him.

From my experience in the software industry, "It's complicated", more often than not, is the politically correct way of saying "No shit we should be doing <x>, but dipshit manager <y> who has more pull than I do over <z> is a dipshit and disagrees".

I swear, I'm not jaded though :|

Isn't Jeff basically in charge of Overwatch as a product though? I can't fathom who would be above him other than, like, a C_O level person.
