Why wasn’t C3P0 tested better before release?
It’s not a complicated question to answer. It’s quite easy....

Because every other time they have released broken toons/content without proper testing, we still paid for it. And we paid for the next thing, and the thing after that. Their bottom line was not affected in any noticeable way by releasing a broken toon. So why would they pour more money/energy/time into testing?

Why don’t you pay half of your own salary to someone to proof read your emails before you send them? Because doing so would cost you money and you wouldn’t get paid anymore for doing so. Your boss is ok with the occasional typo that you make, it isn’t really a problem. So it isn’t worth your money to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

Good summary. Furthermore, you have a player base that wants more and more content and a Marketing department that wants to push material fast to capitalize on the demand. The actual programmers are probably stuck in the middle. If they took the additional time to properly test things, players would complain about lack of content and upper management would complain about lack of revenue.
