It's new and overhauled all right. Still just as terribly implemented. They aren't even trying to pretend they have QA anymore for this game.

The site is a mess of information overload and non-information at the same time. Click the jobs link. It's Bradygames level. Yeah... that sure is helpful S-E. Thanks.

a Vite-built Vue 3 SPA (using Vue's Custom Elements API) styled with Tailwind, served as static assets by nginx behind AWS cloudFront, pulling content fragments from legacy XML/SHTML endpoints on the same origin.

I think it looks fine, and low-hanging fruit is low-hanging fruit. The should open up claude-code opus 4.7 (1m) in their playonline source code directory and re-write it in something made in the last 10 years. I honestly think 1-2 devs and AI could do that in a month, including bug fixes and customizations. It would cost alot of tokens though. probably 100-200million.

They said it's borked until DNS changes properly take effect.

I personally don't like it, I am a big fan of the old site design and see this as vandalism.

To be fair, javascript is ripe for sloppification. I'm sure the front end developer market won't be affected by it..
