Lol you can have shade. Nobody is perfect, for example: do you know what a Gold Master is? It’s the final copy of the game that is written on the disk. It’s also the reason why when you buy a game, the patch is gigantic. It’s out of date, really really important, and has to be certified by both Microsoft and Sony.

The dragon age team, for DAI, built this super important build on a QAs desktop. Why might this be bad you ask? Because it’s an uncontrolled system that’s not clean and is connected to the Internet. Thank God they didn’t have a virus or malware, because it could’ve been written to millions of disks. Lol

It’s the same reason why, initially, the first Star Wars: The Old Republic launcher installed in a user folder named “hedev”. Users were like who the fuck is hedev? Lol that was a coding bug and less of a build mistake but still. The details matter.
