A lot do, they just don’t make a marketing gimic out of it.

Do you think every little developer is gonna get a spot light for what they do? For every story you hear there’s thousands already doing it and more, but they aren’t popular so they don’t get a little shoutout, other than in their communities.

Go explore some Steam discussions and see the devs in there asking for saves, I don’t know what else to say here, but this isn’t news. Almost any dev will care if you send them a save and a specific issue.

Are you saying they commissioned this article or something?

Not accusing you of this, but I still encounter holdovers with an irrational amount of hatred for HG/No Man’s Sky from the butchered launch, 8 years ago.

Its hard to make sense of the disparagement implied by your comment otherwise though.

No, but they tweeted what they did, it didn’t have to made public by the dev, but they obviously did it for the viral marketing, and then an article picks it up and here we are. Someone is being accused of saying an article is commissioned lmfao.

If every dev that did this tweeted about it, yeah you would hear about it more, but most devs have better things to do than get some stupid marketing for things almost every dev already does.

So I ask you, why else would someone tweet about a mundane thing like fixing a bug?

Who is they?

To my knowledge, an individual NMS employee with no named affiliation in his handle tweeted about the situation, certainly with a note of personal pride. Is that what you find inappropriate? That a person was individually proud of something that you find unremarkable?

Because if HelloGames has been pushing this beyond a retweet or something, I wasn’t aware.

It’s not fixing a bug, it’s fixing a bug for a specific person.
