That is correct

I feel sorry for the Dev team, they are at the coalface doing their best and being sold short by the higher ups.

They probably arent as lucky as me, I can say no to a product going out and thats it for 12hrs until the next worker comes on and folds under pressure.

Chances have it they pointed out that the time scale for development wasnt enough and got pressured into making sacrifices to stay in a job.

Well, thats my hat in the ring

I don't! they are on a high pay and do their job like us, what the bosses do with it is their business, maybe a little frustrating but nothing they can do, what annoys me is all our protesting/ranting etc does nothing, UBI PR is I feel sorry for the people who purchased the game!

That explains a lot and why so many in this community is so tolerant with the poor game development over the years. So no matter how bugged is the game, Ubi (devs, suits etc) will be threated well because the are "our friends". Not good ...

Wish I had a similar job, where I can **** up things but get no sanctions just because my customers are my friends.. a real dream job.

I think you misinterpreted Jim's answer to me. He was saying it's not just because they had a beer. It's because they talked in depth about game development.

It's the same thing for me. Like I said, I wish I could have a job where I can get friendly with my customers so when I fail, they will cry on my shoulder instead of complaining at the management and get me fired.

I think you have misunderstood this whole relationship. Do you really think that we would side with the devs if we thought they were to blame for this mess?
