software isn't that complicated, it only gets complicated when you hurry and try to just throw something togeather, for instance to grab more money. ......
You really don't have any experience with software development, do you?
I do and can tell you that software like this is extremely complex and changes are tricky due to several factors too often present during development. These include:
- Very complex software
- Multiple developers involved during creation and maintenance
- Failure to adequately document all parts of the software, including changes
- Lack of a full test suite to verify the software before releases (difficult because of #1)
- Requirement to run on multiple platforms with multiple options beyond the developer's control.
- Time pressures due to any number of factors.
I have worked on software (developed by others) that has suffered from all of these and it is hard to change something without unintended consequences.
Some of these glitches should have been caught, but even now, there is no obvious commonality as to why some things work for some players and not others.
This is another reason for players to accept what works and not constantly demand changes that offer little benefit to the owners (WGT). Unintended consequences result.
Looking forward to resolution of these bugs.
