Game logic: N-no h-homo, right?
Me: All of it 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈✨!!
Game logic: (breaks)

I'm choosing to believe that this is what happened.

The kicker is that the bug had been in the build a while, but I (the only female tester) was the first to catch it

Least surprising additional info ever.

I wonder if it was a simple thing like number of men divided by number of women. In which case an unhandled divide by zero error could cause some issues.

Should have added +1 to each value if so.

A behind the scenes look at how the sausage party is made.

Back when I was dabbling as a gaming journalist, I visited your studio for part of a day (and then went and talk to the LOTRO folks). I remember long conversations with Brenda, when she was very pregnant, about the game.

Oh wow, yeah. Brenda being extremely pregnant is one of my main memories of that game too

This is priceless!

That sounds like a feature.
