[QUOTE="Sumez, post: 51214, member: 1547"] I totally respect Microsoft and Sony for their QA, and one of the biggest issues with this console generation is definitely the developer slack we're seeing nowadays, knowing they can always patch a game later, they ship their game without spending too many months on testing, well aware that the consumers will find the bugs for them. I know this sounds a bit like a tinfoil hat, but working in software development myself, it makes perfect sense. It's how things work, almost everywhere. A company boss must be as economically aware as possible, and spending extra paid hours at stuff that can easily be cut in half and tucked away until after release is an obvious loss to the company. It's been a problem with PC games since internet connections became a widespread accessory, and from this generation on, consoles have inherited it. If Microsoft and Sony didn't have some sort of quality assurance along the way, it would hurt them as distributors. When you download a game from their services you can always expect to have a thoroughly tested product, as opposed to most mobile and PC apps. I hope this turns out great for FarSight in the long run, as the biggest gripes everyone seems to have with their product is exactly an apparent lack of QA. [/QUOTE]
