playtesting
Regardless of the quantity that went into any given product, it's notable when sufficient quality did not. No?
'Quality' is such an ill defined term, its practically meaningless beyond a personal level. Where one person sees quality, an other sees shite.
Take Apple and their products. I know many people that rave about Apple and the Ipad and Macbooks and Iphones.... but every SINGLE ONE I have tried has been a total and utter disappointment. (There is a bear in the Great Bear Rainforest that got my last Ipad as in total frustration, I threw the $700 device out of the Helicopter!).
Some people think that Buzzfeed is a great website: Many others call it a trashfilled, click-bait wait of time.
Remember, "One man's treasure is another man's trash".
So please, define 'Quality' for us in terms of you where expecting, and then we can have a conversation, but simply saying 'Quality' in and of itself tells us nothing....
But that also seems to be the sign of the times as well these days.... no one "builds" anything, but everyone wants to smash shit down.
People who can't program whine 'games don't do what I want'
People who can't write whine 'this book isn't engaging'
People who don't understand economics say 'the Government should give me this for free'
People who don't build say 'A house shouldn't cost that much'.
Everyone knows everything, without knowing anything....
