Honestly it’s way worse when you see simplistic games with problems that you know personally wouldn’t take a long time to fix.

See the GTA loading bug fiasco.

Nobody in the whole company or QA thought “why does this take so long to load? Maybe I should check that?”

Yeah, it just makes you annoyed, especially when having worked on (some product) and it is years later and you are like, “we fixed this 10 years ago, you morons, how did you let this regress?”

And just like the first commentor, 95% of my roadrage is “how have none of you figured out that tailgating is literally why this traffic exists I figured it out on my first trip on the highway!!”

God, I love the metro. My blood pressure and general mental state has improved so much.

Excellent analogy

I do that every time my wife has a problem on the phone or tablet. “Try this button then wait then this button.” It works all the time.

Yet sometimes the only reasonable guess is that they coded in undocumented brainfuck.

Quality control is expensive, and all they ever do is complain about how my brilliant idea to save money will kill more trees or some shit.

If I remember right, the devs of Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl and the devs of the GTA Remasters experienced something similar. They had bug fixes ready to go but had to fight with the rightsholders (Viacom and Rockstar, respectively) to be allowed to publish the patches.
