Now i'm not saying gamesas is like that.. but considering that i personally wasn't/somewhat aren't in numerous things, i know more and have fixed more and built/repaired/etc more than what these "professionals" with pieces of paper saying they may know something ...
A piece of paper is totally useless and does nothing but prove nothing aside from having spent either a waud of cash or typically wasted a few years at some university or college.
The biggest and best world changing inventions have come from people that more often than not, have no credentials to speak of. Actually ironically, many of them never even went to school let alone made it through high school even.
Personally i know several people that don't have a piece of paper saying they are a professional at (name occupation here) that are not only to do better quality work, typically faster, under budget (sometimes if it's a realistic option) and is vocal about making suggestions or insisting on something when the "professionals" are willing to screw you over.
This applies to every industry, job, position, whatever.
Without knowing the full details of why something like this.... first being the lack of LAA even though there is clearly issues without it for many, and now the clear indication that no significant if not ZERO optimisations were performed in the creation of the game.
Like i had mentioned in a previous post..... in todays society.... if a lets say ford/dodge/chev or some of the less purchased and widespread manufacturers like Ferrari /porche/mercedes/bmw and so forth had produced a vehicle.. launched it and some guy happened to get curious and do some tinkering only to find out after only a day or so worth of work, that he could increase the efficiency of the car.. producing more horse power and mileage by anywhere from 10% to 40% with a simple tweak, and then also knowing that with better tools and proper access could potentially increase it by 100% in some cases.... you have any IDEA how many people would be yelling and screaming about why in the hell this wasn't in the car in the first place?


Should Beth have "fixed" it prior to release so it would never have been needed to be fixed in the first place? Well, yeah, obviously. What's done is done though, mod'ers have fixed it, lets move on. I'd prefer Beth to spend time fixing things mod'ers can't fix, like getting the CK released and for the love of God, give us an option to turn off the completely craptacular looking self shadows, or even fix some quest bugs so there's a handful less of the hundreds to fix with the Unofficial Patch that will surely be made, assuming they ever manage to get the CK released. Lets move forward, not rehashing what someone else has already fixed and patting themselves on the back for it.
