I mean the fact that a bug like this and wake up crashing games happened is a huge red flag that patches need longer development time

While you're not wrong it doesn't give people the right to "rip them a new one" on twitter when they're off on weekends does it suck it happened when they were off? Yes but it's gone now.

I feel like situation is actually indicative of what decades of crunch and mandatory overtime in the video game industry have done to our expectations as consumers.
While I feel like changes could definitely be made faster than they currently are, BHVR has a business model that we should strive towards instead of criticising them at every possible corner for, you know, caring about employees and being rated one of the best places to work in Montreal despite being within one of the worst industries to work in.
And no matter how much I hate the decisions they make sometimes, I'm forced to respect them as a company because of this.

Yeah it seems people seem to forget they aren't handcuffed to their desks and have a life outside of coding and designing the game it's a shame we've gotten to this point I agree.

Technically we can still give them crap for taking weekends off because they waited for Monday to kill it.

No because this community tends to behave like children, actually no children behave better than them nvm.

People take the game wayyy too serious. If they lose, if they get their points 1 day late and so on.
The world doesn´t end if you don´t play this game for a few days...

They have a PTB, for 2-3 weeks and push content to live without proper testing.
Idc about them having weekends off. Everyone deserves days off.
I care about a proper product, I paid for, working properly with a game I also paid for. This is getting absurd. Every Chapter is like a Willy Wonka Glass Elevator of bugs.

I think people do have a right to rip them a new one when their product is basically non-functional for an entire weekend. They should have gone back into the office immediately to fix it. I've played plenty of games where a major issue occurred during a weekend and in none of them did the devs just leave the game in a state of non-function for days. Usually it would get fixed within hours.
There are plenty of jobs out there where you might get called in on your day off due to some sort of emergency.

Where did you hear this from? One of my current swf is using the perk right now.

Just remember a playerbase can often become rabid when left with no answers. Too many times have players called them out on stuff that needed addressing and this includes myself I have been hard on them in the past. Just because they know their is an issue with a perk internal testing often has to make sure its the only way to cause it so that the right code can be fixed and they dont make it worse. While they couldve gone back to the office id rather them get rest first before touching the code as its not a life or death situation. Bhvr is not a bunch of androids we can command at will let them recover and gather their thoughts so that its done the right way and not just a bandaid on a bandaid on a bandaid.

Release the most buggy patch to date, then take a weekend off.
Sounds right up BHVR's avenue.
WoW used to have hotfixes deployed during Christmas sometimes.

They probably didn't restart the game since it was killswitched

But what about the other perk... wouldn't make sense to Killswitch both perks seems that are both messed up
Or is it true that they couldn't do it?

"Without proper testing"
Object and Blood Pact are not only 2 perks that not many people run, out of the 70+ perks Survivors have to choose from, but theyre perks you usually dont want to run together since you lose out on an effect if you are the obsession, and if you arent.
Nobody has time to test out EVERY perk combination out there

Youre new here arent you?

Right, because if anyone is going to be held as the standard for how to treat their employees, it should be Activision Blizzard, right?

No my favorite perk :((((((((((

Not responding to the two commenters above.
But yeah the number of times I've had to suddenly call into work on a weekend or friends/family have to.
If you sell a product you're meant to maintain it and provide support.

I'll keep saying this, QoL patches/updates needs to happen more frequently, they won't do it, that's what happens

Uh... You do understand that hurts your argument right? Blizzard has been under fire for months after lots of accounts of mistreatment and sexual abuse.
You brought up the perfect example of how bhvr is a good company compared to most
