Bazen birçok mekanigi de kapsayabilecek sekilde, mevcutu bozup yeniden tasarlamak; erken erisimde ve geliştirilmeye devam edilen bir oyun icin doğal bir durum degil midir? Kaldiki yillardir öğrenerek gelistiren ve daha iyiyi aramis bir firma icin bu daha da tabii degil mi? Çabaya degiyorsa, mekanikler kapsamli sekilde guncellenmek istenebilir. Haksız mıyım?

• Campaign code is a mess and refactoring didn't help.
• They have been trying to develop an open-world game with minimal rule based decisions but this increased the complexity of campaign code and adding new or maintaining existing features have become a nightmare. Even small constant value changes can break the game flow and cause issues like snowballing. Ironically snowballing is happening in their code base.
• Most of their engineers and artists are individually talented but the communication, coordination and team work are lacking. They probably failed to follow most basic Software Engineering Principles.
  • They probably don't have an automated pipeline.
  • Either codes are not reviewed by Principal Engineers / Team Leaders or everyone can push the code to the master branch.
• I know that they do a lot of testing but we can still see basic bugs with initial patch deliveries.

Guys, are you really think that there are a lot of very skilled, talented or experienced game developers working in this company. I swear the god, almost all of their employers learning game development after they started working there. These are not my opinions, the founder of this company already have confessed that in some of the his interview. As a Turkish, i can easly say that i know most of the their employers profile and almost all of them spending their time on youtube videos to learn gameing. Most of the employers have zero knowhow. I bet, if m&b mod community can organise themselfs, probably this game only takes just a couple of year instead of ten years. And if you wanna know how professional they are, pls check that their open positions from their main websites. When you skim over some of the big or medium scaled video game companys website, you can see that very specficed open positions like enviroment designer, Ai specialist, physic engine specialist, UI designer or art designer. Please after read this, check that their open positions or position They are only looking for a computer engineer. This is their professionalty unforcunutelly

First off, not everyone wants all the bandit hideouts changed. Maybe you do.
Then you bring up modders? Who haven't even built the engine or anything, who most of the time are only changing text and swapping parts around? Yea, they must be the real creators and MVPs here...
