I have a friend who does game QA. A lot of the time issues this major are caught, documented, and then management decides the extra delay to solve it isn’t worth the effort because “it’s not going to impact enough people to matter”. Then, once a firestorm erupts due to public backlash, they try and blame it on QA.

My friend has gotten very good at ass-covering, and makes sure every issue ticket is very explicit, not only in terms of what the issue is, the cause, reproducibility, but also how likely the average user is to hit it just to avoid blame.

Wow, it’s almost like there might be people with different opinions that use Linux and Linux users aren’t a single hivemind.

While we’re on the topic of EU initiatives, the tax the rich initiative still needs signatures. It aims to set a floor on tax rates for the very wealthy, and have member states use that new money for environment, employment and social policies.

They’ve hit the threshold for France and Germany, but still need more signatures everywhere else.

Are we sure we want this? Here is an indie game dev I trust going through why this petition is a bad idea.

EDIT: OP has shown me that Code Monkey has a counterargument to Thor’s argument. I don’t find it super convincing personally, but I highly recommend people watch both and make up your own minds.

Thanks, I’ll add that link to my comment too. I think it’s important for people considering signing this to have all available information. Those arguments did not convince me, but I think it’s only fair to make it clear there are counterarguments.

Good thing I double-checked to see if someone else made this point yet.

Yeah. Not only that, but the splash screen when you launch the game makes it incredibly clear that it’s one guy called Greg (very humanizing) and he’s working on it, but he’s not some superhero.

You can always refund it. Even if you’ve gone over the 2 hours for an auto-accept refund, if you explain the issues in the ticket Steam will always accept it in my experience.

Even got a refund for a game after 20 hours of game time due to them adding aggressive client-side anti-cheat.
