Funny shit and I hope to see more of it.
Gamers are too shitty towards devs, who are overworked and underpaid. They end up getting blamed for the problems caused by CEOs, shareholders, and executives (rushed development) and it's really fucking cruel sometimes.
Imagine you hadn't seen your family in months because some fat cat wanted the game out the door in an unreasonable timeframe, You don't get the time to fix every bug, but you try and tackle the worst ones. It releases and suddenly there are a bunch of 15-year-olds sending you death threats on Twitter because you didn't make one of the character's boobs big enough or maybe there's a half-second drop in FPS that 20% of people get that's gone viral. What an awful job that must be.
