The software quality is so low that if a bug bothers you, it's easier to get hired to fix it than for the company to fix it! Wow.

It reminds me of the programmer who mitigated the GTA 5 loading time problem. If even with a lot of money of GTA 5 the quality doesn't improve...

It's nothing to do with quality. It's prioritization. Companies pick things they think people want (or what the team wants to build) without testing or experimenting with users and data.

This is actually an example of the problem, not the solution. There are probably much more useful things for the team to be doing but they let one guy add the thing he wanted.

You'd think search on a docs site would be important :D

It's because the people who spend the most money on the scam cards for GTA:O didn't care. I personally stopped playing the game after getting so fed up with the loading times, I timed it for an hour and found out I was spending more time watching the loading screen than I was actually playing missions.
