This is funny, you try to make yourself look like an experienced professional while you sound like a teen troll that has no idea of how real life business works. You talk about "being the architect of some critical systems", guess what, in real life 99.9 percent of the time, we managers do not architect, we inherit mission critical systems that are outdated, tied to service contracts with companies we don't like that are prohibitively expensive to break, with a shrinking budget and a projected usage of the system that is going to overload it before the end of the fiscal year. Manage to keep a system like that online and then I'll take you seriously.
Your recommendation that they start with a new architecture from scratch is laughable to anybody that manages or is responsible for any type and/or size of ongoing IT operation and shows how naive and misinformed you are of how the real world works.

Or even worse, put lives at risk.
Really? we are talking about a game here, this is not a system linked to an ER department. In business this is called "risk assessment", you may want to look it up. I'll make it easy on you and give you the Cliff Notes: CCP has probably already calculated the likelihood of an outage of x hours using their current equipment, how much revenue they stand to lose from it and they probably decided that it did not warrant spending money on "better non-Cisco" hardware.
And while on the topic of Cisco, why do you keep blaming them even when CCP is acknowledging that the bottleneck is CPU, not network? Is this what you used to do with your "customers"? not listen to their problems and then recommend expensive hardware overhauls? I wonder how much of a commission you got from Juniper every time you snookered another client into buying stuff they did not need. Word of advice to everybody out there: Beware of any contractor that is too dogmatic when it comes to brand names. (That is if I buy that you are an actual professional, I still think you are just a troll)
To put it in perspective it would be like if you recommended Pizza Hut to buy a Ferrari California to each driver to improve delivery time when the problem is that it takes too long to make the pizza. Ridiculous, right? just as ridiculous as your posts have been so far.
