I think that writing games in real programming languages like Rust should be illegal. we must mandate every game be written in sloppy languages like JavaScript and C#. we need exceptions to be implicit and everything is nullable. the possibility of type confusion is desirable. weird bullshit cryptic bugs are part of the peak gaming experience. we need stuff to break randomly, for no good reason, in exploitable ways. both to entertain casual players, fascinate hardcore technical players, and keep speedruns competitive for years to come as they discover wild new exploits. in single player games (no netcode), you can even sprinkle in some memory unsafety. not a lot; you do NOT want to trigger SIGSEGV for a casual player, but it will open up a whole new realm of binary exploitation in tool-assisted speedruns.

yeah
games should be just as shitty as modern gaming hardware
like 1000w gigabyte psu that exploded with fantastic sparkles during test, nzxt h1 case that caught fire because of faulty fan controller, or like any other epic case with tons of rgb fans that do basically nothing because everything is a glass panel
