It’s a bit like developing a microwave meal and it turns out that it only really cooks in 2 minutes if you have an ultra powerful microwave then putting out a press release that says I know it says it’ll cook in 2 minutes on the packaging but unless you have a really powerful microwave add a few minutes to it.
The responsibility is still on the players to have reasonable expectations of the game depending on the hardware that they have.
Also it’s 100% my fault for pre-ordering the damn thing, I don’t know why I did that. But that’s on me because if I really wanted to I could have refunded it.
Except that they know how, anti-cheating software works at least a day theoretical level, they know how their software works, they know the thing that their software does is something that cheating software does again at a theoretical level. Just on first principles alone it should have been possible for them to work this out without having to have any expert knowledge or have the game in their testing suite.
That’s all forgetting that apparently not a single person in the software department, the management department or the QA department (assuming they have one) apparently knows anything about games development. Really?
They weren’t erroneously flagging anything. The driver wasn’t so much a driver as much as a locally hosted man in the middle attack. It wasn’t necessary for the functioning of the graphics card it was literally intercepting commands and altering them, which is exactly what cheating software does.
The only way they could have patched the software to not flag it would have been if AMD had told them in advance of what they were doing. Which I have no idea why they didn’t do because it was blatantly obvious this exact issue was going to happen.
I don’t understand this attitude that the new game needs to include the DLC of the old one that’s never been a thing in games. New versions of an old game never previously included the DLC for the old game apart from anything else because it wouldn’t make sense because they’ve changed so many systems.
I’m pretty sure that if they’d actually tried to keep going in the route they were going with the rules they’d have been sued out of existence. It was almost definitely illegal so it baffles me that they tried to do it.
Unity was been a massive need of an update anyway and just wasn’t getting it. Something like this was always going to happen. This whole debacle has only accelerated it.
All they could have spent some money and upgraded Unity, but clearly that was never going to happen.
When the game first came out you could walk around the corner to hide from the police. And none of the NPCs knew where any of the roads were, so they were just scrape along the side of building for no reason at all.
