    You realize it’s not devs that make those decisions, right? It’s publishers and execs. You know, the guys who make the actual money in all this. Stop blaming devs for stupid exec decisions.

      Well, you’re right. However if no dev stands for that it couldn’t get made.

      Of course I also understand that devs want to eat, too. But the truth is somewhere in between.

      Yeav plus games today are way more complicated so there is a LOT more to optimize, and the execs are rushing those games out

          It’s an extreme example but the principle remains the same: The idea of someone’s responsibility when following questionable orders.

            No, it’s a fucking stupid comparison, man. One thing leads to dead people, the other thing leads to slightly less convenient entertainment software. Can you figure out the rest for yourself? Fuck all the way off with your “questionable orders”.

                I expressed how your comparison is stupid. I’m sorry if you perceive that as hostile and think you need to get a point in by making up an equally stupid scenario about my marriage. Obviously I hit a nerve. Can’t say the same about your shitty attempt at an insult.
