It’s almost like ABE is a class project, or the game the new coder at Chimera is assigned to work on during their probationary period, so that it’s always getting someone to do the upgrades and so forth that has never worked on the game before. And every time the new person fixes a bug, they do it in the most ham-handed way possible, or leave behind a couple of unintended bugs as a consequence. Like their solution to people shutting down the network in Arena was to remove the ability to play unranked arena battles.

Coding is hard, and keeping bugs out of a game that has all these different things going on, with constant network communication, must be a pain in the butt. Even allowing for that, there seems to be a lack of professionalism on the part of Chimera, like you would hope they don’t decide to make control systems for mission critical robots or something.

Chimera Tech. Supp.: Hello, this is Chimera technical support.

Caller: Yeah. Hey, we have a situation here. One of your maintenance robots for the Chunnel is malfunctioning and cutting a hole in the casing of the wall. It’s starting to leak. Any way to shut it down before it penetrates and the whole thing floods?

Chimera: (after three week pause) Well, no. But we plan to release version 1.3.1 of the control software next month, and that should take care of the issue.
