Why does game breaking glitches exist in videogames? Take for an instance the new call of duty weopon that shoots and kill thru walls or pathfinder in the new apex legends update were half the screen gets blocked when he uses is ability. Doesn’t the developers test updates before they launch it or whats happening? The changed the cooldown system on his ability and you still somehow manage to make him unplayable and you may think they would’ve noticed that if they were testing.

I test software, it’s impossible to release perfect non glitchy code. Usually you go live with code knowing bugs are in there but it’s all about risk. What you describe does sound bad, but very often software releases are bound to fixed deadlines and money talks- usually until people start complaining and then patches are rushed out.
