I love this behind the scenes stuff. Really tears down that "Big Company that just wants your money" stereotype Wall.

Do any of these exists for Elemental yet?

If Stardock didn't develop the netcode, then who did?  And why didn't they bust their rumps to fix it?

It was originally licensed from Raknet, but SD didn't test it as well as they thought they did, and so it didn't scale as well as they thought.

And why didn't they bust their rumps to fix it?
Faster and simpler for SD to do it.

My understanding is that they licensed raknet (as opposed to Gamespy arcade or other services) to provide the connection server and Gas Powered Games developed the in game net code.

As to why Stardock busted their own rumps to fix it, I would speculate that they believed (correctly it seems) that it would be quicker for them to code their own solution than work with others.

sfter staying up over 24 hours and writing code for our prof to check if we had started on our program, after sleeping, turning the outline in, and continueing to work on it, i realized it was the buggiest thing i had ever written.

Its ok to be jelous that you will never get the chance to be on camera like Frogboy. No need to take it out on him 

Nice documentary

What money?  As someone else pointed out, they are on a salary not a wage.  So they get paid 20K (30K, 40K, whatever the ammount is) a year, period the end.  And with their job "not on the line" (to quote Frogboy), money isn't an issue.
