Dear developers, it looks like you have a talent for breaking the game with one small patch. Do you test your crafts at all before the release ? Or did you decide to test it on us - your customers? Any interaction with the assets leads to the crash of the game. I returned to the game after a 4-year pause and now it feels like a spit in the face.
Rhetorical question.... Right? Gotta be....
Because every game company has been spoiled by the plethora of FANBOIS that take it however they can get it and accept untested or barely tesrted changes from game companies because - well - fanbois.
Why shouldn't the game companies release untested patches? Seriously why?
Here's why. Because they can and it saves them money to do so.
I am terribly conflicted by this. As a die hard capitalist it makes perfect sense for a company to take advantage of the fanbois and get totally free quality assurance testing of purely alpha grade coding...
The guru of quality assurance science (Phillip Crosby) once stated that quality by definition is meeting the customers' expectations. Fanbois by definition don't expect much whic is why over the years we've mostly gotten crap from companies when they release new stuff.
