    This is hilarious because the latest Cod update prevents some Xbox players from booting into the game if they have a headset plugged in

    Just another group of people that are gonna give unions a bad rep, I’m afraid

      As someone who worked for Activision, in QA, on major CoD titles, I guarantee you that wasn’t QAs fault.

      I can’t even count the amount of bugs my team found, documented, and raised a hell of a stink about, that still went live.

      Major bugs like that in live are not due to QA missing them. It’s due to the rediculous pace ATVI makes the team put out content. Doesn’t matter if QA reports something, if the devs are not given the time needed to fix it.

      GOTTA GET THAT NEW BATTLEPASS OUT!!!

      Alternatively, maybe a better work culture that could be advocated for by the union would result in better working conditions, more realistic deadlines, happier developers, and by virtue of these things a reduction in the kind of error you are referencing.

      But also people make mistakes sometimes. Unions don’t cause that, and I’m skeptical of claims that they seriously aid or promote mistakes either.
