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

442 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”.

Obvious bugs are not necessarily game-breaking bugs.
Those get fixed first.

Things that make the devs more money? That gets made next.

You see more obvious bugs because games are released more broken nowadays than in the past is because they can patch it online. Back when the game needed to be burned on physical media, with boxes and shipping. They couldn’t afford to release it broken.

What we’re getting it incomplete content with incomplete testing.
That gets prioritized less than squeezing another few bucks out of their audience with loot boxes and skins and another content pack.
