Holy cow, I'm a very casual gamer, I was excited about the game but when it came out I decided I don't want to wait that long and I'll wait until they sort it out. 2 years later it still sucked. So I abandoned it. But.. this... ?! This is unbelievable. I'm certain that many people left this game because of the waiting time. Then there are man-years wasted (in a way different than desired).
Parsing JSON?! I thought it was some network game logic finding session magic. If this is true that's the biggest WTF I saw in the last few years and we've just finished 2020.
Stunning work just having binary at hand. But how could R* not do this? GTAV is so full of great engineering. But if it was a CPU bottleneck then who works there that wouldn't just be irked to try to nail it? I mean it seems like a natural thing to try to understand what's going on inside when time is much higher than expected even in the case where performance is not crucial. It was crucial here. Almost directly translates to profits. Unbelievable.
