Bug Fixing.... Methodologies -- A Microsoft tale
This also applies to QA testing and bug fixing at Bio. So, if you are interested to learn how Microsoft* went wrong in bug fixing click on the link below:
From a Ghacks article. Summarizes the video from Barnacules an ex Microsoft employee. Watch the video for details.
The video shows (to me anyway) why Bio is using a PC testing platform.
*NB: It's a bit technical.
LOL! just poking fun but how can someone be skeptical about a game that's in essence is dead? unless its is if it can be resurrected at this point?

Hell, that's easy to answer. Why does M$ have all the bugs? Because M$ is a piece of shit.

I'm not saying I was the only one who saw this dumpster fire coming with EAware's latest half-assed cashgrab, but I remember fondly the childlike optimism that was totally unfounded. Once again I'm glad I didn't buy this game upon release, and I probably never will play it ever, after all the garbage. Any other field of work the standards EA holds their releases to would get entire departments fired. But games and "gamer culture" are different I guess, placing a nobility on the consumer of "sticking with it" until the publisher and developer get around to fixing things.

Nah, digital sales mean shit too, all that matters is the millions of people who subscribed to EA access because of Anthem This game is the equivalent of a "console seller" for EA

Can I play the full story for free? How limited would I be? From what I read - all of Year 1 content is free, with some parts of Year 2. Which means all of the launch and Year 1 story campaigns, but not Year 2 story campaign as I understand.
And, yeah - obligatory "Destiny 2 went F2P because it obviously couldn't compete with Anthem stealing all the looter shooter players".

Mars War Logs is more straight forward, less open world, less backtracking, but it's also quite short (about 13h) and I end up wanting more (good thing there's a sequel) But it's the game setting the universe that I love, not to a Mass Effect universe point, but still a lot (Mars, mutants, rivalry between factions, everything I love from Total Recall/The Expanse)

I would love to see NBA 2k20 get hit with a bat too. Such a lazy reskin of 2k19, just with added casino slot machines. Even the stupid .exe file was saying "2k19" when launched

Nintendo is getting sued for the Switch Joycon drift now that even the non-detachable controllers of the new hand-held only Switch has!
