Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

Don't quote me on this, but I believe Frictional Games saw some of our speedruns on Twitch or YouTube, and now they don't want to see us "break" their game, so they're trying to patch everything up. I don't believe they did that much polishing and tweaking on The Dark Descent, since they didn't see how far can speedrunners go. But actually, the glitches we find doesn't spoil the experience of other players. I didn't have any glitches in my first playthroughs.

It's pointless though (if true) people WILL break their game. Mark my words. Every single game out there has glitches, and no amount of work will stop that. Developers will ALWAYS overlook something and have their game glitched/broken in some way. If you work hard enough, you'll glitch an area. Some of the most solid games out there I even broke with a friend last year or so and found countless glitches in them. Do they really want to compromise the game just for some sort of foolish pride of not having their game glitched? Us gamers like finding glitches anyways so what's the harm?

True. I hope FG aren't that concerned about speedrunners finding ways to glitch themselves through the game. That would be a total waste of time and not necessary. I do hope though that the effort they put in now with polishing and whatever reduces the amount of glitches for players experiencing the game in more "traditional" ways
