I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

CD Projekt supplying the images and probably signing off on final digital or printed proofs.

Microsoft probably not looking any harder at the art and proofs than the Cyberpunk Iconic Penis is not peeking out.

They also self-publish, as flatluigi pointed out, so it's entirely possible that the only thing CDPR did was to send the print company a finished image file and telling them to "print this design" without any further input on their part.

The consoles run a much tighter ship on keygen than Steam for example so Xbox key cards are going to be administered through an Xbox managed process and that printer is going to be listening to Microsoft at the end of the day and not CD Projekt directly.

I would put money on the process (and mistake) being the CD Projekt sent the art to a Microsoft account partner, who sends them to offshore to be composited into a template, with Microsoft and CD Projekt singing off on the digital proof to send to the printer, then sent a physical proof. Offshore almost assuredly had a weird icon loading error so the logo that got a stock icon stuck on instead and nobody bothered to look at the proofs. Alternately CD Projekt sent a bum icon instead of their logo too. The source of the error isn't really the place to point fingers when you have proof sign offs.

This has been the process for like any digital to physical bulk print job of the past 20 years because you do have SNAFUs like that in putting the template together and is this case Microsoft is again not going to be looking too hard at things like CD Projekt branding. That's the sort of thing the CD Projekt rep would see on the digital proof and ask to correct. You can also get stuff like the digital art conversion to CMYK channels doesn't get you the brand approved colors or similar printing translation problems which is the point of the physical proof.

Fair enough, then! I've got some experiences with weird printing errors in small business because of communication failures like the one I described, but I'm not really familiar with now console publishers handle it. That sounds reasonable, though.

There are locations in AC Valhalla (and maybe earlier ones, I dunno) where the main game world's simulation stops working properly and you can hunt around for the collectible that's causing the glitch. It doesn't go this far, it's more like time looping/stuttering and objects freezing or popping in and out of existence, but it's really neat looking and has fooled me a couple times into thinking an area's not loading properly out-of-game. (the downside is that the areas boil down to very hit-or-miss platforming puzzles, but the overall effect is really cool and should be used in a more targeted game)

This sort of thing does deliberately happen in Saints' Row IV. The game takes place in a simulation, and there are points where it starts breaking down. And they use completely realistic animation, rendering and rigging glitches as inspiration for when you're around those places, it's really neat.

It's missing the absolutely greatest thing about the shaun glitch, the thing that secures its place at the top of the glitch pantheon, which is that the character is still lip-synching every SHAUN throughout the entire scene

that is very good, but i think what really puts it over the top is that it cancels any other playing dialogue, as if the screamer is actually interrupting everyone and leaving them to awkwardly pause and stare at him, like "...really?"

In Left 4 Dead you used to be able to bind certain voicelines that normally only played in certain situation/context. That included the death scream when a character fell of the hospital roof after getting punched by the hulking Tank infected. This one was much louder than the others because the character was supposed to be moving away from the others. However, just spamming one voice line was boring, so people quickly created aliases so you got things like "we're actually gonna make it! *DEATH SCREAM* "somebody help me! *DEATH RATTLE* *belly laughter* anyone could use some pills?" at the push of a button that you could spam constantly. It broke the ice in every tense situation and it was a sad day when it got patched.
