QuoteIt was a shock, because we had done really good work, and this is a group of people in some cases, who had worked together for one project and in other cases, like me and Ricardo Bare

Yeah, many gamers are... still... "shocked" that for years, you devs has release broken 70+ bones' titles; & refuse to correct them after a few weeks/months goes by.

QuoteWho I really felt for were the new people, like, this was their first project

Yup! Nevermind caring about your money makers, the players, investment & time, into your broken/woke propagandas. Yeah, forget about releasing an integrity/issue-free title, players should only be concerned about keeping the devs happy... just because. 😏
