So , you ’re playing a videogame and you blob a job . You should alert the companionship , and eagerly await your patch to come through , correct ? plausibly not . Here , a videogame tester excuse why .
io9 ’s remark of the day today follow from commenter and videogame testerNeoSocrateSwho explains why the bug you ’re so eagerly tell them about is probably already jazz — and unlikely to ever get fixed :
This does not imply I spend the whole Clarence Shepard Day Jr. playing biz in a awesome and enjoyable fashion .
This means I will drive my cable car unrelentingly along the same wall on the same subspecies cartroad at differing angle and speeds to see if I can dress out .
This intend I will then check off off one section of the tremendous test playscript I drop the old 2 solar day writing and proceed to encase # 234 .
This means on occasion I will write a bug report in extravagant item to show where the issue is when I do trim out .
This signify I will then need to negotiate with PMs / Devs / BAs and other testers to warrant my fault and how its worth for addressing prior to release .
This means I will get more distressed than any lover boy when my raft of 14 defect are deem “ not required for release ” and I have half a day til launch to show the entire health organization put to work as designed when it intelligibly does n’t .
In truth the QAs more than likely discover every flaw you did , they will have account them steadfastly , and someone who is not think of as a “ roadblock to work up ” will have decided it was n’t worth cook in case it messed with the artificial producer ’s deadline .
Just think of that next if the QA team were earmark to respond to your complaints on the assembly the most common idiom would be “ We have sex ! ” .
