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?

If Stardock didn't develop the netcode, then who did?
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.

These videos are about as entertaining as watching paint dry.

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.
