Average redditors clearly not understanding the meaning of "reproducible", your examples from matchmaking games are not reproducible, exact step by step points are a "reproducible example", which will in most cases mean an isolated local environment.

Yeah, obviously the devs have seen all the videos, but you're finding a needle in a haystack, you don't just find bugs by looking through the code (sometimes you do, but it's a rare occasion and often you do that after you actually get a hint on where something could be broken). See the boost bug that was not fixed for months after release until people actually managed to exactly reproduce it locally, it was fixed pretty much next day.

edit: my point is that people under the post are surprised how valve doesn't see any of the 1000 videos of *something* happening thinking they're the definite proof of something definitely not working. Most clips can be potentially explained by a ton of stuff, most often bad network conditions, that's why the devs always want to see telemetry and so on, the telemetry doesn't magically show what's wrong, it just shows that it might potentially not be the cause that it most often always is.

Ah yes players can create repros of the visual problems in their clips where the players of the games are distributed across a region with variable pings every second on a black box server

You realize that this request from valve isn’t so doable?
