i understand what she's trying to do, but yeah, hoverboard scenario was basically to players, "hey we love this bug!" but it effected mediatonics wallets so they nuked it instantly. whereas this bug is compeltely the opposite, where, yeah maybe it's funny in a video or 2 to watch, but experiencing it is not, however it doesn't effect mediatonics wallets so they don't prioritize it as highly. Abbie is approaching this, thinking the experience is enjoyablem not realizing outside of the videos posted that make the madness look fun, really not that fun after you experience it one time.

Don't get caught up on this, basically, is what I'm saying. I think the design devs or devs that fix it probably realize people hate this (if not then they just don't read what players are saying which is another issue)

We're reading it and it's helping us understand perspective for sure, but things are not as simple as they might look with these decisions!

I know most of us know this too, but just to raise it in this thread - when you are posting screenshots from Abbie on discord, or Oliver on Twitter, a lot of the time they are voicing decisions that are not only theirs - so this isn't Abbie deciding on her own going "we'll leave it up", she is just communicating it to Discord the same way I did to Reddit around the same time that day.
