Personal Opinion:
Anyone who attacks QA for the existence of a bug should spend a year in the trenches to understand exactly how little they know about game development.
QA are unsung heroes. They don't just play games; their expertise is what prevents unmitigated disaster.

Shoutout to all the AMAZING members of Quality Assurance who I've worked with over the years.
I've seen the bugs you've prevented and the disasters you've stopped from ever seeing the light of day. I've seen the QOL you've fought for and lost sleep.
Never stop fighting!

And I would bet money that every great Game Designer you admire or follow has a QA they're thankful to have known somewhere along the course of their career!
As a former QA, I want to call out some of my mentors: @ironmaus, @All_Caulle, @WarlockRakaul, @PehpperPlays, Elijah

I also need to include @SarahJWitter, @cynixy, and so many others who aren't even on Twitter.
