Do program. But ARK: Survival Ascended, and the studio behind it - Wildcard - Are absolutely the most atrocious group of people to have ever graced gaming.
They set release dates, and not once in nearly 10 years have they ever hit a target - and not by like days or something, sometimes years. They planned a map release a year ago, and have pushed back its release date like 6x now. They adjust 1 thing only to have 5 other things break. They constantly blame their playerbase. Some of their modding community are better as 1-man-teams than their entire staff seem to be at UE5 development. I’ve seen single people release maps and content that rival Wildcard’s entire production team.
Either there’s a LOT of nepotism going on, or they’re plain incompetent. And I greatly subscribe to the idea of “Never attribute to malice, what could easily be explained by stupidity”. Because never once have they actually been malicious. They care for their game and community, but holy shit are they god-awful at it.
Hunt: Showdown (crytek de) might be somewhere up there too, though it’s hard to discern if their dev team is just understaffed, they have no QA/testing or their management is just incompetent.
Either way they currently have a decent bug hydra problem and fixes often come late and cause other problems.
