Did anyone else LOL at the 'game stealing'?


How could J.P. claim that he created the game just by stealing a development build?

Alex could have easily proved he created it as, he would have had the source code and game assets on his computer.

Yep, but the actual game development side of things wasn't too realistic in many ways.

Generally, it takes a couple of dozen developers years to make current-gen 3D games. And while QA (testing) teams can be as large as development teams, that's often because they test multiple games and/or only test a given game for a couple of months.

One guy doing the development with a big team of testers working concurrently probably never happens.

And of course testing does not involve simply completing the game.

You have to cover a lot more content / permutations than that.
I knew a guy that had to test a racing game, by crashing into walls and filling out a report if something odd happened....*for three months*

It's said that nothing will make you hate games like being a tester, it's a definite case where you should NOT make your hobby into a career.
