@PushDustIn Just a better idea of how long things take. Whenever someone hits me with “it’s been two days and this bug still isn’t fixed yet” I lose my mind a little bit more.

@PushDustIn Question for any game devs here. After a game has been released on and probably isn't being worked on anymore. What usually happens to the older dev builds of that game? I've always wondered about this.

@Zael987 @PushDustIn The builds are probably dead and gone, no reason to save those. The code and all the assets are probably around (yay, version control). Rebuilding from the code and assets is probably hard (what was our engine version, plug-in versions and build process 9 years ago?)
