haha, that was a good one. Now I'm imagine their wet work division being the same as the modern AI coder.

Please tell how the developers of the unreal engine is thinking. I have not developed the skill to understand thought from code yet.

The point is this guy solved a major bug and I consider $10,000 to be a bit of an insult given the scale of the problem and it clearly was overlooked for years

So a major bug, that the product could live with for years and still be functional (I know functional is always weirdly requirement especially with modern games)? How much should a corporation pay for such a bug fix? a years salary? What incentive structure would you entail that would not make it profitable to create bugs?

Once more, did the devs force the bug hunter to hand over his code? Aka, did they made an offer he can't refuse?

Do you have the source for the source code pre fix? I would like to read this in its entire context.

I would have at least offered the guy a job for fuck's sake lol I just think it's cheeky they pay him that little given the type of game breaking bug it was and the fact that it was such a silly mistake. If they put him on a proper salary and everything he'd probably find all sorts of crap the previous developers left lying around.

So the role you want him in is QA? In that case the payout was great that he got. xD More serious though, Do we know if he was offered or not?, Were their negotiations about the bugfix pay? Or did the dev release it freely and they then were good enough to pay afterwards?

And just basing his ability to fix a major bug on whether not to employee someone, is a bit iffy, only reason it works todays market is that all other metrics are really shit which means most employees are shit.

I know I'm the one that brought up GTA but terms of revenue one of the biggest things that turned me off from GTA Online was the awful matchmaking. It wasn't even necessarily their design, there were just so many obvious oversights with the code like how to deal with players disconnecting and things like that.

This paragraph is a bit halfbaked, so pardon if something is misunderstood.

The role you want is more dev lead and architect which is once more not something i can determine is suited for the bug fixer.

Other than that it just a rant about the qualitative of their product which I do not understand still why they should be paying more based on their revenue.

As long as the bug hunter got the choice whether to hand over the fix or not and thus be able to decide if the offer was good, I'm happy.

So you should pay in proportion to your means? As mentioned above that is quite a good price for a bug-fix.

And how would you measure the exact revenue created? I don't know the details on this story but was the dev required to hand over the fix?

Haha, This is hilarious, not even the coders understand what they are doing anymore.

I mean the movie itself got the MAID program in it. So naturally this is perfectly fine, it was after all a documentary on how to solve the coming crises.

Ehh Perhaps The X series?

I need some more definition on what the requirements are.

Hehe, The only offer they accept is buying out the entire company.

This was obvious from the start, I mean why else add the mii ripoff hub style.

Some people have a allergic reaction to the word shop...

Man the modern world really want to brainwash you in anyway. Corpo gasligthing is always fun.

Fyi, Yakuza are very likely the same types that are operating scammy night clubs and karaoke bars that drug foreign tourists and take all their money so I'm not exactly a fan of them.

Hey, now that is how the immune system is intended to work xD

Still even the yakuza game had the theme of comparing old Yakuza with modern Yakuza with the obivious setting being that the more modern forsake tradition for money (No idea how much truth there is in that)

That is a shame, but is sadly the reality of normies. They are a reactive force which can be duped until the illusion shatter.

The fun thing is how much the EU normies does not understand EU and it's processes, even when you point to the EU own page where it is stated....

The little they have reveled of their infrastructure does not minimize the problem nor improve by swapping the hardware.

Great, Atleast the early response system is working. Still the west have had similar events (although perhaps later when the infestation were worse, and the government ignore them or knocked them down.) Do we know how the jap government is responding?

Brain bugs? Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive.

Yea, true that its the age of tiktok/shorts. Still I'm surprised that it has spread even here to this obscure forum, I did think we were a slightly more concerning customer.

There got to be some sort of push, for helldivers 2. Not even Starship Troopers: Extermination or Starship Troopers: Terran Command was being shilled as much, and this is for rootkit infested "anti-cheat" in order to protect their mtx store. I meant they can't even be arsed to increase server cap on flex due to being so cheap even though the game itself is built for p2p which means only their mtx and auth servers are overloaded...

Helldivers 2 I'm not sure it is a indie game anymore. It is published by sony, it got more then 100 employees. And its studio has been around for over 11 years.

edit: And they are ditching it for the same evil greed as before...

They inadvertently admitted to leaking confidential material that was only meant for their lawyers to their livers, then lied about it afterwards.

Livers should only get alcohol not paperwork, it handles the ink poorly haha
