  I didn’t mean to get caught up in exceptions or exaggerations. I’m no developer either, so I have zero background-knowledge about game-development or game-engines.

  Though as I work in IT (again, no developer) and live within a zero-IT-knowledge friend circle, I tend to try and shine a little light on some things that, to the outside, might seem simple but maybe aren’t. I guess sometimes I’m trying to err on the side of caution a little too much.

  I definitely think there are a few of those one-line, true/false settings that could just be toggled, especially things that are handled by the engine instead of the game-logic itself, though I cannot speak of experience here.

  I’m talking about ones that are like one line of code being set to true instead of false etc

  I don’t know how many, if any, settings matching the true/false + 1 line of code restraints even exist.

  If you can change a setting, even if it’s a binary choice, someone had to think about, implement and test everything pertaining to these choices.

  Depending on what kind of mechanic we’re talking about and how deeply integrated into the rest of the game this mechanic is, that could be a big task.
