Why does it take game developers so long to fix very obvious bugs/issues?

432 views

Not trying to criticize anyone, just curious about the process.

When I report a bug that the developer acknowledges, why does it take so long to fix it? For example, 2 months ago I report a bug where the characters weapon disappears in this very specific area. 2 months later, after several updates, the bug is still there and the response I get is, “we are still trying to find a fix for this”.

I’d imagine some combination of the reality that there will always be bugs. That bugs have differing levels of priority. Non-game breaking bugs are generally accepted as the norm now a days. That programs are becoming more and more complex, which makes things more difficult to fix. Also, for games with imported code they take the good and the bad with them. So they will hold bugs from prior iterations.
