Except when they’re stupid too. In the tutorial area of Horizon: Zero Dawn they have you climb a wall. The handholds are marked with white and yellow.
Except it’s evening in game and the color grading effect makes everything a shade of orange. The colors aren’t distinguishable and the shapes of handholds are still new. Took me two hours to figure it out. I knew I had to climb the wall, but where to do it and where to go on the wall was a mystery.
Had a pretty big streamer in a vr game rip off the headset in anger after being stuck in area eith a pipe that could easily fit a human who slightly crouched. Also there was a sign there with a button on the controller and crouching human next to it.
There also was a tooltip that says “you can crouch in real life or use a button to save your knees.”
As a game dev some of you, including streamers, are so fucking stupid it hurts. Yellow paint guys just give in to the temptation.

Hey guys, I found one of those stupid gamers! ☝️😅
(someone sticks their neck out
immediately gets chopped)
Well done.
Go go screen brightness maximum!
Don’t make games for stupid people, please. They are ruining it for the rest of us.
Common saying over here: “money does need to be taken away from the idiots”
Is that a common mantra of the gaming industry? Sounds fucking exploitative. Which studio are you with? I’d like to boycott. ✔️
Its common mantra in every industry that interacts with customers.
Not with the product I am working on at a large company… But tell yourself that, I’m sure it’s a big enabler. 👍👍
They ain’t fish hunting Jeff, they hunting’ WHALES
I’m also a game dev, and I prefer clever level design over the yellow paint.
