You can tell this game is beloved. I don't think I've seen this many bugs talked about as funny / cute quirks when they're just... bugs. It isn't cats getting drunk in DF, it's a memory issue that affects your save the longer you play.
It reinforces the idea that the devs are treating players right and making a game that people want to succeed.
I'm not thrilled with the idea that we lower the bar for game developers based on how biased we are towards them or not.
I feel like the games should speak for themselves and we shouldn't aim for special treatment.
Have you played the game though? It's filled to the brim with content. I already have a lot of hours in and I think I'm only about half through the game. You talk to friends and everyone is telling a different story of how they approached a problem in the game. Almost every conversation in the game has voice lines.
It's absolutely not flawless. Controls are clunky, path findinf of your compagnions is weird most of the time etc. But you absolutely see that this game is a labour of love and not a quick cash grab. Plus again, it's massive and it's one of the few games where I actually understand them not being able to fix every bug in the game.
So I wouldn't say that we lower the bar with them in relation to bugs. They have raised the bar in content and overall quality so high that you are more willing to forgive / overlook a lot of the issues, as long as they are not game breaking.
