Lol no. It only gets more obvious that the bugs could have been avoided with better quality control and less tight schedules.
Honestly it’s way worse when you see simplistic games with problems that you know personally wouldn’t take a long time to fix.
See the GTA loading bug fiasco.
Nobody in the whole company or QA thought “why does this take so long to load? Maybe I should check that?”

learn to drive then you will never complain about drivers /s
Excellent analogy
And just like the first commentor, 95% of my roadrage is “how have none of you figured out that tailgating is literally why this traffic exists I figured it out on my first trip on the highway!!”
God, I love the metro. My blood pressure and general mental state has improved so much.
I imagine there are game devs who were laid off by the studio of the game they are playing getting extra pissed.
Like, they may know why a game breaking bug is happening and how to fix it, but they can’t, because the dipshit CEO wanted another yacht.
Quality control is expensive, and all they ever do is complain about how my brilliant idea to save money will kill more trees or some shit.
If I remember right, the devs of Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl and the devs of the GTA Remasters experienced something similar. They had bug fixes ready to go but had to fight with the rightsholders (Viacom and Rockstar, respectively) to be allowed to publish the patches.
Mw2 (the real one) had a bunch of bug and balancing patches ready but weren’t allowed to push them because corporate wanted people to move on to the next one

Typical /r/programmerhumor post. Sounds like something that could be true, but once you actually know about the subject at all it’s clearly false. Upvoted like crazy because everyone there knows fuckall about programming.
I write code for a living. I certainly complain when I find a bug in one of my dependencies.
hmmm. Lovingly made indie game vs AAA slop made on a crunch? At least with the indie games I play, even the quasi EA stuff, is stable as hell.
That only applies to software with the Source Code available to edit and recompile.
I all other cases, my complaint just includes recommendations in the end.Super true.
Kinda goes along with how when you understand the jobs of others you become a more understanding person.
Any time I look at a terminal or attempt to start learning anything beyond updating the system with bash commands my eyes begin to glaze over.
Yall got unique brains to do that because I sure as fuck can’t.

Though I’m pretty sure he’s a scammer not a developer
Not sure about other bugs but definitely for network-related bugs. Knowing how to tell if it’s happening on my side or not is also a plus.
