Treyarch Says PS3 Gamers Are Happy With Black Ops
On today’s episode of, “What the fuck – are you kidding me!?” Treyarch seems to think that PS3 gamers are happy with their version of Black Ops and that it’s impossible to ship a bug free game . . .
Embattled Treyarch community manager Josh Olin recently said in an interview to VideoGamer:
“It is unfortunate that those [bugs] have to exist at all. In an ideal world we would love to ship a completely bug-proof game. I can’t think of a single developer in the world, though, that could achieve that,” he added. There’s hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of players on the PS3 who have absolutely perfect, pristine experiences,” he said. “I talk to them everyday – I see @replies to me on Twitter all the time from people going ‘I don’t know what people are complaining about. The game is perfect for me!’ So they do exist. I know that doesn’t make the people who are experiencing problems feel any better, but it should put it into perspective.”
“So we’ve had, like, six or seven patches, depending on which platform you play on, since the game came out – so we’re talking six or seven patches over the span of two to three months. That’s a lot of post-release support, and that’s something that we’re going to continue – that’s not going to stop.”"Even if the bug is only hurting a hundred fans, if we can find the cause we’ll patch it,” he added.
So there you have it. The official statement from Treyarch boils down to – Nobody can release a bug free game. People seem to like our game anyway. We’ll keep patching it (like six or seven more times) until it works for everyone even though the game has been out for months.
