Hi @Stevespear426 -

Appreciate you trying to defend our engineers from the rest of the team, but one thing I think you should know is that in game development everyone on the team is a developer, regardless of their discipline.

I know in non-gaming teams "devs" are often only engineers. Cue Steve Balmer's famously hilarious "Developers! Developers! Developers!" YouTube video. (If you haven't seen that, I'll wait...).

Thanks!
