Mr Hootington posted:Why does it need that many people? It's a publisher that owns a shitload of small studios. Presumably they're taking them all with them, including Aspyr and Zen. Wikipedia says Embracer purchased them for $525m - so I hope that means they made a slight loss overall.

It happens every 4 years and it's always funny. The PS3 stopped working one year because Sony hard coded the wrong dates for leap years into it so it thought March 1st was February 29th.

Shinjobi posted:Video games are the equivalent of slightly polished rough drafts nowadays I mean honestly not really if you're trying to compare them to older games. Newer games are more complex and have more places to break but older games still had problems out the wazoo, from mechanics not working right to things freezing, to basically being unfinishable. Things like this stand out now because they're rarer while in the old days you had Sega putting "beware of Dr. Robotnik's Speed Traps" into the Sonic manual because they couldn't assure Sonic running fast wouldn't clip his rear end into a wall.

as a developer the first thing you should learn is not date time objects but rather how to make things someone else's problem

Didn't some old game have a warning in the manual that sometimes the villain would cast a spell so evil it destroys the universe because they knew the game would do random save corruption?

How does that work? Did they buy themselves from Microsoft or something? Or are they just doing their own thing within the Microsoft ecosystem like Obsidian

It's very much this, while the Gregorian calendar is a piece of poo poo it's also a solved problem. I'm also guessing that console game development circles as a whole don't have the focus and institutional knowledge on dealing with calendar problems that my circle (web devel) does. That means that dumb things have more of a chance to fall through the cracks.

Yeah i guess this is a better take. It's all anecdotal on my end since I abandoned the coding path long ago, but my friends who stuck with it every so often regale me with stories of "geniuses" who reinvent the wheel for reasons beyond anyone's understanding.
