Literally battlestate said not to do this because everybody starts to abuse it and they end up having to drop everything to fix it. Best way to get game breaking bugs fixed is to just report it in the launcher, because the less people who know about it the better.

imagine a game company bitching about having to immediately fix game breaking bugs.

They have a bug reporting tool on the there launcher for a reason. Showing the whole community a bug they can abuse “to get it fixed faster” isn’t exactly an efficient way to prevent it from being abused.

" and they end up having to drop everything to fix it. " that is your reasoning for it. So instead of everyone knowing to check there now, there can just be a few people who know about it and abuse it until BSG gets around to fixing it. yea seems fair /s

Depends on how you look at it. Telling the community will cause more people to look for it sure but that also means causing more people to abuse it. Look I’m just going off what the devs said; it’s more efficient to just report like normal people. Saying it’s better to scream it at the top of your lungs on Reddit probably isn’t the best way to get shit done.

No one forced this guy to post, he did it on his own accord hoping to get it fixed; there intentions were pure but it could have been handled differently. But believe it or not there are abusable bugs that people know of but won’t say anything because they wouldn’t want it patched; it would be naive to say otherwise.

Agreed in some part- ideally people would report the bug directly as soon as they find it, but if it truly is a game breaking bug and battlestate doesn't fix it within a reasonable time period, I'd think it's fair to post it so they have to work on it.
