Please dont tell me, you think I is this game dev.I've seen you type this many times, and I just have to state my complete disagreement.
Absolutely, you are 100% correct that if a user breaks the game by save editing, using an old save (when properly informed by the developer not to do so), or using tools and/or mods (where it's their own responsibility) that it's completely their own fault if things are broken.
If a user can't progress or runs into a non-bug, that is to say, they fail to progress because of their own inability to read in-game quests or talk to the right character as the dialogue has informed them about etc. then again—absolutely their own fault. That is provided the design by the developer is not terrible and it is reasonable to expect the user to figure it out. But like I said, that wouldn't be a bug. Just user error.
Now to my disagreement. Above caveats aside, if a game breaks or has a bug then it is absolutely 100% on the developer. Every single time. It is not the responsibility of the user to play the game in a certain manner—if that is what is required to make the game function normally, then the developer should be using rails to make sure the user plays the game in said manner, and can't accidentally break the game by not playing "as intended". That is part of game design. Choose where to allow freedom, and where to restrict it—whether to control scope, possible bugs, or purely by design choice etc.
Anyway, to the matter at hand, that perfectly fine if you disagree, you do you. But you do realize you basically saying exactly what I saying many times before in this thread. What is the point of your post to quote me and get into something that has nothing to do with you?
Reason you see I say it many times is some people go about doing things without thinking at all. Simple fact. Many issues I see in this thread are user bugs and not dev bugs. And the post in question is that self. Yet, I am not disregarding the plethora of dev bugs either. But if you been monitoring me, to see me say it many times as you said, then you should be seeing I helping people with many dev bugs as well
In regards to the game dev:
The dev aka BoN is rushing this game and releasing it with tons of bugs. But same time if players do not know what they are doing using tools or save editing, then they shouldnt be trying to circumvent bugs themselves without any guidance. Especially following randoms who post fixes and new to this thread. BUT at least, think and follow knowledgeable people about the game and dont be editing and doing nonsense all willy-nilly. Hence, I been posting fixes on my discord with detail instruction on how to proper save edit to fix some of the bugs in the game. So I don't know what is the point of this quote to me, as I see no value or point in talking about this with you.
Regardless, I really dont see the need for this discussion. If you disagree, then thats perfectly fine. This is something for you and the dev to discuss in terms of what you disagree and all that in your last paragraph.
Nothing to do with me.
