After 5+ extensive drafts and going over the manuscript sentence by sentence making minor tweaks, I can guarantee you that by the time I'm done with a novel I never want to fucking look at it again.

Many members of Bungies staff, especially the community managers, actively play Destiny. So some devs actually do play their own games.

We have to see which bugs are in the game, then report it to the developers ourselves.

depends on what you mean by a 'developer'.
designers usually have to replay their work over and over.
but engineers, who create features or mechanics, don't necessarily have to play the game to do their work, especially when they're focused on just making it function.
there's not really a need for an artist to play the game. it's always good for them to get examples of their work, but that doesn't mean they have to play it themselves.
product just cares about how well the game does money-wise, which doesn't require playing it.
project managers just make sure schedules are followed, and though they SHOULD know what the product is, it's not necessarily a job requirement.

Allowing others to vouch for the readiness of a product creates deniability for the PM/etc. and, if needed, a priority window for process improvements.

Amen, although I do enjoy looking back and kinda seeing what I had written.

this was the big problem with the Division 2. it was a focus group project because they were contractually obligated to make a sequel, and none of them played to actually see what their ideas looked like off of the drawing board. coming up with legendary weapons and gear sets and skills and builds takes genuine creative talent
