    As a developer myself, I just find it funny as fuck that people just spout off about shit like this. clearly do not understand what they are talking about.

    Imagine the support nightmare alone if the dev team is dismissed on release. For example, Baldur’s gate just released 1000+ bugfix patch 20-some days after release, good luck doing that with a brand new team.

    Especially today with things like day1/week1 patches which have become the usual almost, cutting the dev team loose on release would just be wild from any informed perspective

    The developers don’t deserve to be paid? Because that’s the crux of it, no sell no profit, no profit no workers. Bye bye studio and any future art because we all are trapped in this capitalist nightmare. Do their families not deserve to be supported for their work?

    I’m struggling to understand the motivation of your comment. You seem upset that a studio that worked for many years paying many developers project managers artists etc to create this game is selling the result of their hard work and investments? Where do you think they got the funds to build their latest game? Perhaps from the previous games, content, merch they have produced and sold?

    How exactly is a studio to function if they simply hand out their hard work for free? How exactly are they to hire quality people if they are unable to make a profit from their primary product, the games that the developers and artists pour their heart and souls into?

    I mean, shit, yeah all information, art, everything should be able to exist without tying it to finance but that’s not the world we live in and it’s not the world these developers work in.

    So… what’s your point??

    Absolutely not. Especially with said small mags, op said 5 but for Cali I believe it’s 10?

    Either way that’s a small fucking mag even for a round like 5.56 (standard us rifle round). You could easily stuff 4-5 in your two pants pockets.

    Sticking with the 5.56 example, push the mag in, hit the bolt release to load the first round, pull the trigger and the next is auto loaded. Pull the trigger for each bullet and when there are no more the bolt will stay locked back. You push the mag release button, mag falls out, then you just slide a new mag in. Hit the bolt catch release and it will load the next round.

    It’s easy as fuck, no the goal isn’t to reload once a day. If anything the goal would be to hit the target with as few bullets possible x the person you replied to was just being facetious.

    here is an excellent example animation that covers the entire sequence from load to fire. Most of it is irrelevant but if you actually care you can jump around using the chapters

    The only laborious thing about reloading is putting each round in one by one. The video shows a 30 round mag so think of a mag 1/3rd of that for this post context. With stripper clips or a speed reloaded it’s easy and quick af. Realistically you’d go out with preloaded mags instead of a box of bullets you load on the fly. Always a good idea to take extra cartridges tho.
