In addition this makes it so that experienced players and people who play more in generally don't get super powerful companies resource wise. (Would be unfair to new players.)
Do note though that even if you have +50 RE you'll always get a bonus, even if it's only +0.25 for a win through attacking. At least you still get something and you'll still get to expand your company size. (But obviously a lot slower.)
We didn't want to hardcap the max RE
