What are some examples of playtesters making games worse in the final product?

Valve QA "Don't Hire Absolute Mongoloids As Testers" Challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

How would getting lost in a featureless repetitive cave make the game better?

You could try.... not getting lost?

Does yellow paint count?

How fucking retarded did capcoms playtesters need to be for this to be implemented?

>>713725245
If you're not getting lost in the first place than making it more linear doesn't hurt the game anyway.

I feel that devs like Valve intentionally hire idiot playtesters specifically so that they don't design shit in a way that's too obtuse, which they were clearly concerned about.

someone came yellow paint all over this game..

>level design should be cramped and linear, you shouldn't have stray paths for environmental story telling, because uhhh... it wouldn't hurt the game if it wasnt there!
Holy reddit

You can play Assassin's Creed if you wanna climb non yellow surfaces

You can play mario if you want a soulless A->B bing bing wahoo walkway

Any game where you can piss on walls to open new paths?
