Any amount of actual testing that is ostensibly done is just farmed out to brown countries where they just lie about how much actual work is being done. It's an actual culturally accepted norm in places like China and India to try to scam your clients, customers, etc. The idea is that they should expect it and not let you get away with it. Any amount you do get away with is considered the price of business. It's part of the whole "haggling culture" where you try to sell me something that is worth $100 for $1000, and I try to buy it from you for $1, and if I can talk you down to $200, that extra hundred that you made off with is basically your reward for successfully scamming it out of me. If I can get you to agree to under $100, then that's the price you pay for being out haggled. This is such a universally accepted norm in that entire section of the world that it's built into every single business transaction on all scales. Same with middle men skimming off the top, grifting, bribing, handlers stealing a few units to sell on the side for a little pocket cash, it's all built into the business model for them. From the panhandler on the street to the CEO in Shenzen or Jakarta, they all know about it, they all accept it, and they all do it. And that includes when they deal with Westerners. They bill Ubisoft for 100,000 manhours worth of play testing, only perform 10,000 hours (and even the actual bottom level testers themselves are working their own grifts like getting their 11 cousins hired into the same company, so that only 2 or 3 of them have to show up at any given time and all will claim that all 11 were always there), and the fact they were never called out on not performing the other 90,000 means the money they made from that was justly earned by them. They really do believe that not getting caught means they were in the right.

White people often cannot wrap their heads around, and will outright refuse to mentally accept, the idea that being an objectively awful disgusting person is literally built into most brown cultures, to the point where those brown countries don't even understand that they are being awful. Just think about the fact that there are over 2 billion people on this planet who really do truly believe deep down that is long as you don't get caught lying, lying isn't actually immoral.
