Assets are all interconnected, and removing something may break the game.

The discs still needs to be filled with junk data anyways, so why bother removing literally all of the beta content.

Or maybe there's just excess space, so it's more effort than it's worth to remove it. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So? I deeded to some gay porn.

They may be days from release, and don't want to do anything that could fuck up the game. You hear about a bug during launch, but they don't tell you about the 10 other bugs they had to rush to remove before release. --- "I'm an atheist too but still believe in hell.

There's so much code and so many assets it must be very hard to keep track of it all. You might comment something out with the intention of adding it back in later but then forget about it.

Assets are all interconnected, and removing something may break the game. This is not entirely accurate, but there's a grain of truth in it. The actual reason is that it depends. It depends on how the game engine handles assets, which in turn depends on how the hardware deals with them. So if you have a long content pipeline, and the final product is some big binary blob with all the assets baked in, then it's probably a lot of (or at least some) time spent on removing the unused assets for literally no gain. Heck, it might even be things they want to test on a release build, accessed by a Gameshark or something. And yeah, in some cases it could probably break the game if you have a crappy engine. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oxhorn did a video where he explores all the unused rooms and one of them is literally where all the random encounters are stored until you run across them. Lets just say accessing it with all encounters in it can have some interesting results. --- Who knew bananas could be so lethal? Proud member of The Church of The Man-Emperor of Mankind. ...

So people can discover Hot Coffee and return the game because they already beat it.

In that case they are actually using the content - even if you don't get to see it. Of course it would break the game when it's used. Nevertheless, there are tons of "hacky" solutions like that all over modern games. Not to mention the amount of optimization that doesn't get done because it's not worth it. That's almost at conspiratorial levels. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. ... Copied to Clipboard!
