"rare low-repro serious progression-blocking bug is discovered the day before release, preventing console cert" is some sort of gamedev worst nightmare.

Y'all better use the intervening time to WISHLIST this great game so its new release date is a HIT! 💥🎉

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
