I guess OCS is being tested but how they are doing it doesn't make any loving sense

like I don't, I just I guess, I don't maybe really get what the gently caress they are doing here

My theory: OCS is crap. They can’t just let the Evocati have a build that is completely unfunctional (with OCS), it would be knocked back and there would be no illusion of progress.

So they give Evocati two builds. They test OCS and find it makes things completely non functional, but they also have a second 3.3 build that could barely meet the label of ‘playability’ if you squint at it out of the corner of your eye in the right light.

Then CIG can say “hey, we are SO close with OCS, but due to Evocati feedback we are going to keep refining it for 3.4, and in the meantime we will release 3.3 to you all with out OCS”.

Citizens get the illusion of progress (3.3 gets released, OCS has been ‘tested’ and is ‘being refined before release’, shills get something to market, CIG can squeeze a few more dollars out.
