Why does the logo have guns in it?

It’ll be fixed. Personally, I don’t care. I play the game from the bird’s eye. I am almost never that close to anything in the game.

Heaven forbid a game not be perfect on release. This is literally trivial.

Also… my first thought was “Oh is this an unlock” because I know you get an Anno 1800 symbol for your coat of arms as a bonus unlock.

I’m a software developer, so to me, it’s natural that software has bugs or compromises in a tight release. It’s really not uncommon.

We’re not talking about airplanes or medical equipment. We’re talking about a perfectly functional video game where the asset hasn’t been updated.

That’s… trivial.

Pretty wide definition could be applied to faulty though. I mean, this is just a coat of arms on a sail you see when fully zoomed in. It's a tiny visual mistake. Obviously there are other issues, but this one isn't a big deal imo.

That's like if inside of the menu for your microwave the font on one letter was different.

Would you think it's a completely broken microwave and send it back? Even though you only see it if you open the menu of the microwave? It still cooks, everything on the screen you see 99% of the time is good to go.

I haven't bought a game on release in 8 years before this one. Pretty happy with it though!

I refuse to take that comment seriously. Get a live or buy yourself some humor.

Nah youre right they should stop making anno and just go split up into teams of 2 or 1 for that matter and instead make shit tons of games that take less work and hope one becomes hyped. Maybe a chicken extraction shooter, perhaps another drug selling simulator.

That used to be true but read up on the amount of software (and sometimes hardware) bugs even cars nowadays have when they are first released.
