They didn’t admit it. OP added that part. Every developer is going to fear their product isn’t well received or will have technical issues when it matters most.
This is a sandbox that allows ridiculous amounts of way to solve problems. Testing the interaction of the game’s systems in every permutation of circumstances isn’t really reasonable.
TIL Valve started and maintains Proton…
I read about their name change and wondered what it was. I had a similar experience. Really bad UX. When you click join it asks you if you want to create a new server or join an existing server. I picked “join existing” but the first button on the page is to “submit your server”.
I clicked the “verified” server which was down (and is still down… who goes down for days for a domain change?)
I clicked another server and hit Explore and it showed me a list of pinned users that supposedly had many posts each, however I clicked on various elements such as the post count trying to view them and couldn’t. At that point I just closed my browser tab.
I assume this thing is some sort of Mastodon-like social network but coming in blind it’s hard to tell.
Apologies, it was added by the article author.
