With total respect to what you're saying, I'd just like to say that I care about games and other non-mission-critical software. I am continually disappointed by buggy glitchy unreliable applications which have clearly been rushed out to meet a release window. It's as if we've all been trained to accept poor quality, based on the excuse that "it's not handling payments or running a nuclear reactor so it's OK to be sloppy".

- thegeomaster 12y agoI am sorry, but you have completely missed my point. All software has bugs, period. With games, you can omit assertions so that these bugs cause glitches in the game (or cause no visible change at all), or you can keep them in, slowing down the engine because of numerous runtime checks and crashing the whole game if a single bug occurs. That's way more sloppy design than the former.
