Your memory fails you. It is rather "if you CANNOT shit, don't stretch your ass" and it it rather about inability of somebody to do something properly. I. e. if you can't do it PROPERLY, better not try.
Which can be rather addressed to some developers, not gamers
Правильная трактовка фольклорной цитаты «не хочешь срать, не мучай жопу».
А понятие «не можешь» подразумевает физиологическое ограничение на использование жопы, тем самым теряется сатирический смысл фразы.
При этом «не хочешь» подразумевает, что объект не ограничен в использовании жопы, но «мучает» субъект своими «хотениями».
The correct interpretation of the folklore quote "If you don't want to shit, don't torture your ass".
And the notion "you can't" implies a physiological restriction on the use of ass, thus losing the satirical meaning of the phrase.
At the same time, "don't want to" implies that the subject is not restricted in the use of asshole, but "tortures" the subject with his "wants".
