Another fun example (Destiny)

Yeah, they may feel like evil Bungie is out to get them, but I'm very sympathetic to how difficult it is to maintain this ecosystem they have built, and I think these exploits have a ripple effect that disrupt the ecosystem, and have the potential to make the game less fun for everyone.

On the other hand, I doubt that kind of analysis is the deciding factor that often. The ease and impact of the fix probably weighs heavy, and as outsiders, any theories we make about that are likely rubbish.


A friend of mine once likened the process of dealing with software bugs to dealing with actual bugs.

He said "if you're at the cottage and you're surrounded by Mosquitos, you swat anything that lands on you... even if it isn't a mosquito."

I don't know how accurate that is, but it makes me smile :)

Clearly Bungie swatted the wrong stuff, because there are already reports of no engrams droping from Valus Ta'aurc, and chests on the dreadnaught not giving anything at all after the hotfix.
