It's written in English and in English, that would mean it happens afterwards.
It's a multinational game, so more effort should be put into the wording and translations.
Learning how they word things is the way to go, not trying to push your meanings on them. And their parlance is also common and accurate in common English. It's your personal vernacular that has it means something other than what it does, not common English.
While I appreciate your insight on the mechanics, your interpretation that this is standard English is dubious.
Generally when events are described, it's the case that they take place in chronological order and each sentence precedes the next.
I went out with my friends. We had dinner. I came home.
The dog bit me. I went to the hospital.
It's by no means the norm that things occur simultaneously unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Standard English only dictates an order when explicitly stated unless telling a story. That isn't the case here. It's a description, not a story.
People take all kinds of short cuts in local vernacular, but they often cause problems with common English
