> the problems shouldn’t take more than a day for a single dev to solve

It bothers me that so many of us developers are annoyed by managers saying stupid stuff like "shouldn't be too hard" about things they don't understand, but then other developers walk into the same trap.

Yes, it looks simple at the surface. It most likely isn't. The problem is not that it looks simple, the problem is that you assume it is simple, probably because you don't have the full context.

it _is_ simple, as evident by the article if you read it in full

I _did_ read it. Did I miss the part where Rockstar confessed it was a really easy issue to fix and they apologised or what's your point?

'Yes, it looks simple at the surface. It most likely isn't' my point is the issue is simple, as the article proves.
