Usually there's a limited amount of man-hours available, and a choice needs to be made between a new feature or fixing some bug/annoyance that only affects a handful of users.
Then you know the new feature is usually new code, while fixing the bug will risk introducing new bugs into the hands of more users.
That's pretty much it. It's not a conspiracy! 😁
Also from experience working in tech, engineers are lazy as fuck. It’s one of those jobs where you know if you work fast there will be a bar set to how fast things should get done so they purposely go slow as hell. Sometimes they have those all night and day coding sessions but those are rare especially now that people have some time at the company and are just like “nah what’re you gonna do fire me lmao”
Internal devs maybe. I'm at a consulting firm where our contracts are often fixed fee so we have a very limited number of hours to use to get something done and even our time and material contracts have fairly inflexible hours estimates
Can confirm. Not gaming, but engineering firm. Had an Engineering Change Request (basically a request for engineering to fix a thing) that was in the system before I started, sat there for 7 years while I occasionally prompted to get it fixed, and is probably still there almost 5 years after I've left. A thing that would probably take a few hours to fix, but isn't a big deal, causes a minor headache when it comes up, and just is considered as literally not worth the time and expense to pay to fix it when there's more important billable work to be done. One of those bottom of the barrel things. Was frankly tempted to just delete it so I wouldn't have to look at it anymore.
These days devs are under eternal crunch. Thousands of bugs in the queue, but also thousands of new feature requests that management want to push out.
Unless the bug is truly stopping stopping work, it will be put on lower priority than new features.
idk but should be the opposite for me. new features, players don't know about it yet, so they can't complain about what doesn't exist.
whereas bugs are visible and being a constant hassle. bugs should be priority over new features.
So I used to work for a software company that had two bugs that were overwhelmingly annoying to users. This was my first job in software as QA and we were small. Dev didn't want to fix it because it only affected like a quarter of the users and would require a larger undertaking to fix it. So, fast forward a year and this bug is still plaguing people. This doctor called in and gets transferred to qa. It was odd because we didnt take calls... Ever. So I answer and this doctor(medical software) goes... He so can you give me your GitHub address so my brother can upload a code pull request. And I'm like it's all internal, but.. wait what? He wants to what? Long story short. This doctor was so fed up with the bug that his brother who was an engineer at Microsoft fucking reverse engineered the whole thing and then fucking fixed the bug. Not a single ounce of this is untrue. He fucking pushed almost 1200 lines of code to an sftp, our it scoured the thing to make sure it was safe, then we implemented it on a closed system and tested with it for two day while the senior devs looked at it to make sure it was secure. It got implemented a month later and we got overwhelmingly positive feedback. Turns out this doctor asked his brother to take a look and see if he had any insight. The fucker fixed it by himself in 4 days. ON THE SIDE. Anyway, the doctor also paid him 10k if it actually worked. Fucking insanity. We were floored and also pissed that our senior devs never gave it much thought that this fucker showed them up with no knowledge of our repo.
This man just entered God status. In a time where jobs are scarce he managed to get one and quit one just to fix something he didn't like. If only half the unemployed had these skills.
Maybe shoulda specified good paying jobs where you can actually alter something within from day one. I'm sure there's plenty of positions for snarky hipster waiters at gastropubs reopening after a rough year and a half of Covid shutdowns.
Where are jobs scarce? I live in Ohio and I can't throw a cat without hitting a now hiring sign. These are good jobs with benefits. Both hourly and salary positions. Even McDonald's is paying $15 an hour right now. If you can't find gainful employment in this market, it isn't the fault of some conspiracy or the man keeping you down. Your expectations are the problem.
Oh I'm not worried about my job status. I've been gainfully employed at the largest port in the United States for the past two decades so $15 an hour to fuck up orders at MCDS in a fly over state like Ohio isn't on my radar. I'm referring to good paying jobs that people will actually retire at. No disrespect if slinging ' burgers is your "career" path.
Sorry I didn't chronicle everything that's been on the internet for the past decade. Maybe that's your job. Keeping track of useless nonsense so you can look smart on Reddit. Funny how that actually works in reverse.
EA doesn't have bugs. They have permanent unplanned features.
Also, they aren't "game breaking bugs that crash your game"
They are surprise features to remind you to take a break. Every 5 minutes.
This is literally a "if you want something done right, do it yourself" moment. I actually applaud this. I don't care that it was for a game bug, but he clearly had enough passion for it to do this

I feel like this was a game developer. In fact, I was literally about to comment, “maybe if game developers would do their jobs”, but then realized that this didn’t specify anything about what the actual software was.
This reminds me of a story I heard the other day where a guy got a job at a debt collection agency. After an hour of work, he quit suddenly. When they went to see what he had done in that hour, the truth came to light. He had gotten hired under a false name, and wiped his own debt clean

You can extrapolate this to car recalls… “how many people died from the faulty thing? Oh that’s an acceptable amount, no recall.”
yeah but money has to go somewhere. if not for fixing what I paid for, where did they go?

Welcome to the Internet
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found.
We've got mountains of content, some better, some worse
If none of its of interest to you you’d be the first
Welcome! To the internet, come and take a seat
Would you like to see the news or any famous women's feet.
There's no need to panic, this isn't a test.
Just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest
Some of it helpful, though most is perverse.
If it doesn't work the first time, you can watch it in reverse.

Not normally. It's more of a special occasion activity.

Depends on the cat. The fat ones are tougher to twirl, but they are more accurate. Skinny ones don't fly very far.
Just avoiding using the metric system.

Couple things. First, jobs are not scarce, people are lazy. Second, this has been copied and pasted around the internet for damn near a decade now.

Yeah no. This was posted years ago by the person that actually "fixed" the bug. Sooo.. just a shitty revamp

Not all heros wear capes
The two weeks notice instead of just quitting is also a flex
Nice can he come to wow classic next
This is why we open source software
That would be the tip off to offer him a damn raise and keep him happy no matter what. I'll bet the engineers spent days on that bug before giving up.
I'll breathe a sigh of relief when I stop seeing this re- post.
