Capital Games Teamit launches at midnight local time for the dev's office. Call me old fashioned, but I don't think anyone should have to be working at midnight unless they are working a position that is a 24/7 critical operations center or something.
Why even comment with such a braindead take? Who cares when an event starts. This is just a case of lazy quality control. The event never should have started in the state that it's in right now. But yeah, let's be "old-fashioned" and just ignore the issue.
Oh you're right about quality control. I won't argue about that.
However, Late night releases or changes for time-syncing over multiple time zones is an industry practice dating back many decades. When I was a software engineer, we pushed all our code to production at 4am in the event there was a bug. That way the early birds would discover it, and not the 500,000 people we had online during the day.
I think waiting 9 hours until people wake up is a relatively sane thing to do. It's a game, not the NWS National Hurricane Center or a nuclear power plant.
