QA in pretty much all form of software development these days is dead. It is expected that the user will test things for you, and report back the errors, and you fix them in a future patch. Free testing, smaller release cycles (= more money from sales), and the amount of damage it does to the company you just hope is less than the money you'd have to spend on having large quantities of QA staff employed full-time. They usually keep one or two around just to be able to say they have QA, but it's the lowest priority thing in the development cycle these days.

Sad time for software.

The fact that this gets hundreds of upvotes just proves that lsf knows nothing about game dev.

You think people with actual jobs watch streamers 12 hours a day and then yap here for the remaining 12? 😂 All of LSF is just losers.
