| 00:00 - 00:05 | And then they asked me, would I be able, in theory, to code and implement a system... |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | ... that allocated penalties completely randomly. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I said, you cannot be serious! This is madness! |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | I refuse to do it! It is an outrage! |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | And then they told me. |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | We already have. |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | WE ALREADY HAVE! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | They got a kid, on work experience, let him access the code repo! |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | He had never even used excel! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | And he just randomly entered stuff into the penalty algo package! |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | And they pushed it to the live servers! |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Said, no worries! Let's see how the players like this! |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | We can kick back, watch the carnage! |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | They are gonna love it, right! |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | Well you can imagine what happened! |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | It was a complete disaster! |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | Guy gets rammed - penalty! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Run of the track, T-Boned big time! Penalty! |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Pass a backmarker - penalty! |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Any DR A or S driver - just give penalty! |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | And, and the nerds on forums,,,, |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | ... spend all their time arguing |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Oh this deserves a penalty. |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | This will improve the overall driving experience. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | On my phone, here, can show you youtubers... |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | ... debating racing incidents. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | But it is all random! |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | There are no rules, just chaos! |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | But some of the players love it! |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | I said to Kaz - no way man, I don't believe this! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | nd he said to me, while having a smoke backoffice... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | IT IS FIA APPROVED! |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | We are going for a new kind of eSport, one that is transgressive! |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | Ariticulating a new vision of racing games! |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | We are going to create a new breed of simulation! |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | I said, you cannot be serious! This is doomed to failure! |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | He said, I call it, GT RAGEQUIT |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | They gonna love it! |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | Unless they still use Beetle. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | I thought, this is insane, but there is a cruel kind of logic...right? |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Because the previous penalty system was not very well received. |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | And the players were constantly moaning and whining. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | Nothing makes them happy - so let's make US happy! |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | They keep playing! They pay us! |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | But the penalties are random! |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | There is no design! It is chaos! |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | And the FIA test season is almost finished! It is real racing! |
