I haven’t really worked on Bungie.net for like almost two years. I’m a shared services engineering lead (think the shared accounts service).

In terms of gamedev inefficiencies, I want to staple Don’t Read The Comments to a number of senior decision-makers’ foreheads in this industry. It’s wild to have to talk mature adults through, but sooo many people in positions of power take anon comments as representative gospel.

Probably need a couple more years of data to solidify this but I’m pretty sure that the more that pro players and streamers hate a particular release of Call of Duty, the better the game actually is.
