It is sadistic, kids are sadistic.
I believe this Vsauce video explains the phenomenon I mean (I have not watched the video and can't right now).

I too believe, you can "hide" inside a big companies structures.

Always true

I'm sure it's a difficult balance as a developer.
It's easy for someone who has played many games to underestimate how much is new to someone who has not played as many games.

Hmm sounds like you were pretty annoyed by this :D

Did you play far cry blood dragon? The protagonist complains about how the tutorial is boring.

It's not like that, it's a game for kids, when there is a yellow car you say "yellow car!" and you can punch someone on the shoulder, but only the first who sees it can do it.
Do know this thing about the two yellows? There is pure yellow and mixed yellow, both look yellow.

That was the one where you swing the sword with the wiimote right? Maybe they were worried there, people would be confused.

I mean if you pay someone to watch something, you think it is a super easy job, but you want him to do their best.
Still I don't think it's reasonable for someone to be at maximum alertness watching like a store somewhere at night.
But I believe there are many jobs where people don't care. You have to be there and not break some rules, but that's it.

This is exactly what I think every time I hear about boring jobs. Why not use the time for something else? But I suppose in many boring jobs you are still monitored and have to pay attention.

Driving is for free people, walking is for slaves! /s

Only for advanced pros

Just got approved on this platform and just wanted say, that I am quite exited. How is everyone?
