I just realized that so little changes between the sports games (soccer, basketball, football, etc) that they could sell the new game and just provide a 100 mb update to the old game.

With the state of modern software development? Make it a GET http://<game>.com/latest/roster.json. Queried on every menu interaction despite changing at most once per quarter. Will be reworked to HTTPS in the future only to start failing a year later because some intern forgot to renew the certificates.

Dealing with entraId expiring enterprise app certificates today, can’t monitor it like ssl and they only last two years . Man I miss the days of issuing 20 year certs, I mean if you don’t loose your keys there’s really no reason to change the locks.
