That’s just it. You’re assuming, and you’re wrong. QA just finds the bugs. They don’t fix them, and they don't prioritize them or decide which ones get fixed or how quickly. Those decisions are made by project managers, and there are always bugs that they decide to ignore or fix later in a patch. Always.

That's fine, but why assume the fault lies with QA rather than the developers or management?

How do you know they didn't find it, and it simply wasn't fixed because management pushed the release out before it was ready? Or the developer simply didn't prioritize it? This happens all the time in software development.

No they’re not. Not even close. Not even the tiniest fraction of the tiniest bit.

You betray your ignorance with every post. Please continue. You're taking yourself down far better than I could.

So when are you planning to go through with it?

The reason for his resignation is that he failed to do his job. He is a customer-facing representative for his company, and he failed to treat a customer with dignity and respect (and the customer wasn't even hostile; he was trying to thank him) while alienating thousands of other potential customers. That's pretty…

Some of them, yeah. I don’t think it’s particularly widespread in the industry, but it's not at all unheard-of.

You have not been in the game industry a long time. No one who had would be so ignorant about the process, or make such sweeping assumption about a team they know nothing about. The greatest QA team in the world can't save a game if the management is rushing it to production or if the developers aren't willing to…

I'm not familiar enough with the Alison Rapp situation to weigh in.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to defend here. No one’s saying he can’t have his opinions (though I think they’re fucking repugnant, but that’s neither here nor there). No one’s saying he can’t speak his mind. But when your job is to be the face of a company and draw in customers, you can’t—absolutely can’t—spew out…

His employer thought so, which is all that matters.

Since you didn’t read my comment, I’ll repeat myself with some clarification. Please try to read the whole statement this time:

There’s no witch-hunting going on here. This guy was a dick to someone who was just trying to thank him. If that’s the guy you’ve got as your company’s public face, then you fire him, because he’s doing the exact opposite of his job. He’s there to draw in customers, not alienate them. This guy was fired because his…

Right. Okay. There’s no right or wrong. Everyone’s opinion of everything is equal, and we as a society have no standards or basis for believing in anything. Let anarchy reign. Nothing is real.

I think both of his parents’ roles were completely mishandled, which ruined the first half of the movie. That’s just my opinion, though.

You ever lost a job because you offended thousands of potential customers? Because if you did that, you definitely should have lost your job.

There is NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER.

You don’t know the first thing about software development, or where the blame for the issues with this game actually lie. As I said, you’re making assumptions based on your own ignorance. For all you know these bugs were identified and reported, and the decision was made not to fix them. That happens all the fucking…

It's not at all unfair when the issue is how the topic is handled, not that it was handled at all.
