I never thought I'd give credit to CD Projekt Red because they're the company that finally black pilled me permanently on modern releases. They do deserve credit though because even if their launch was a total shitshow by anyone's standard they have 'technically' been fixing the crashes and FPS issues plaguing the game and they don't have any major game breaking stuff in it that prevents you from even progressing the fucking story.
It really is atrocious and I am thinking of two titles in particular Baldur's Gate 3 and Rogue Trader. It's extremely annoying because even the negative reviews don't really talk about any of this which is why letting normies into gaming was a mistake. There are some game breaking bugs in these games that are either incredibly annoying to the point it made me not want to go near it anymore or they break the game and mean you can't even progress anymore.
Instead all it is retarded meme posting and people going "lulz gay sex and waifus take my updoots" and the only mention you can find on some of these bugs that are pretty significant is some obscure thread on steam or reddit that talks about it where it quietly gets stealth patched. The fuck are the programmers thinking? The only way they could possibly have allowed something that bad to get through is if they simply didn't give a shit, wrote the code and then declared it finished until the bug was found by gamers sometimes months later in release. It of course takes people awhile to pick up on these bugs depending on the size of the game and how far into the game it happened.
Play your own fucking games devs wtf, I have no respect for this.
This reminds me of when I was on the Public Test Realm for Naxxramas in vanilla WoW with my guild back in 2006 (I think).
We were about to pull an early boss when a "GM" spawned in front of us. He whispered our guild leader for our Ventrilo information, then hopped in our server to listen in on our comms. We struggled on a few pulls, but after each wipe the "GM" would mass res and mass buff us to save time. Then he would randomly whisper one of our guild members with a tip, e.g.: "Have you tried Mind Control? ;)"
After we killed the boss on the PTR, he congratulated and thanked us, then he told us... that he was Tigole. Tigole was the lead developer for World of Warcraft. We were playing at like 3 am on a weekday, and this guy was watching us goof our way through an encounter while responsible for developing content for millions of players. That was super cool.
