"It's far from a necessary use of finite time."

Jim Sterling said this in one of his videos, and I'm livid.

It's a pretty unimportant detail that I suspect will only be noticed because attention has been drawn to it, but eh, as long as the actual gameplay remains good.

Rockstar took Eight Years with Red Dead Redemption 2.

What the fuck is he talking about finite time for? Rockstar literally has all the time in the world to make the game they want the way they want it.

It's really not too time consuming to do this. Especially when you factor in the fact that it's so inconsequential that they aren't going to spend time making sure it's always right.

Yeah, he can be pretty loud and smug, but I like the passion he has in fighting for the proper treatment of workers in the video game industry. There are some genuinely insightful Jimquisition episodes, and there are also some whiny, repetitive duds. Don't throw the manbaby out with the bath water!

Yeah. I miss TotalBiscuit, he stood up for the same standards in calling out the BS in the modern video game industry but was also came across as a hell of a lot nicer of a guy. Fucking cancer :(

I mean, in context (something we're lacking here), that line is used as a joke at the expense of publishers acting like forced crunch practices are necessary, when they're doing unnecessary shit.

Which is a fair point. If it came down to having horse testicles in RDR2 or not having some ground-level dev have to pull 100 hour weeks to realize some exec's deluded view of perfection, I'd take the latter.

Horse testicles shrivel up in cold weather/environments

Rockstar used it as an example of the smallest of details they are putting into a game and it's become a sort of meme.
