AAA game? Performance issues and crashing on release? Why I never.

Gonna just remind everyone, or tell anyone who isn't familiar... Gearbox's Colonial Marines has a typo in an ini file that breaks the game's AI. Gearbox was made aware of it after a modder found it in 2018. They acknowledged it by making a joke, then did nothing...

That one letter typo is still there after 13 years.

    Isn't this the 1 letter typo where removing it makes the game massively better?

    Yeah, if I remember right, the issue is that the typo breaks the system that tells the xenos how to behave in combat. They should use vents and try and flank you, but instead they just charge right at you.

    Still a ton of other issues with the game, but that was huge.
