He's probably just pissy that the main menu doesn't change like in some Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid games after it's done.

The most innocent developments in NEET's life (like submitting a report, eating a bowl of soup) fill me with anxiety. I'm half expecting his recommendation to be rejected, hurling him into a spiral of doom that ends in a suicide bombing.

So uh, did he write the report in pen, scan it in, and then email it to the devs?

Can't imagine a world where a tester writes "thank you" in a bug, unless it's passive aggressively in a comment

i think it's just standard japanese politeness in the request. for all we know all bug tickets have a prefilled "thank you for your consideration" or whatever

Yeah that's what I figured. Still funny looking at it from an American tester point of view, where the qa and dev teams are often in direct opposition with each other lmao

Does Quality Assurance literally only entail bug testing? There must be tons of ergonomic or human-machine-interface standards and best practices that should be checked for compliance. Like making sure that there are sufficient presets for different kinds of colorblindness, that subtitles are legible, that your game doesn't trigger seizures (CDPR excluded), and so on. There is an entire industry devoted to human factors engineering. Does that fall under the umbrella of dev or qa?

Highly variable across companies; historically that poo poo only got done if someone somewhere in the team had a personal interest in it. If it were an industry standard, CDPR wouldn't have happened over a decade out from pokemon seizures.

There's a joke I've heard among QA teams that the job shouldn't be called Quality Assurance, but rather Functional Assurance. In theory, it's QA's job to not just point out bugs, but also point out parts of the game that aren't user friendly, parts where the difficulty or balance feel off, and really anything that would make the game "better". Unfortunately though, in many (most?) companies QA is just there to ensure that the game is functionally sound. There are many reasons for this - animosity between QA and dev teams, QA not starting in full on projects until it's too late to make major changes, the stigma that QA teams are filled with underpaid labor that doesn't care about their job and thus shouldn't be trusted with game design decisions, etc.

The ironic part is that the companies that will take QA suggestions seriously are often the ones that need them the least, since it shows their upper management and dev teams are taking others into consideration so they probably already have a good eye for user friendly design.

So to directly answer your question, it falls under the devs to design the user experience to be as friendly as possible. QA can write up tickets with suggestions for improvement, but these are often ignored by devs, closed by leads/producers before getting to devs, or entirely discouraged from the start.
