The cause doesn’t actually matter much, usually one doesn’t know the issue until they investigate. So often issues remain open for lack of interest, then someone finally does and it’s a missing comma. This doesn’t affect the fact that the issue has been ignored.

I’m sure GTA has unlimited bugs to look into, but a bug that turns people away before they even start should have probably been given higher priority.

Would we?

Even if I don't understand what it's doing, devs doing nothing about an O(n^2) algorithm that takes multiple minutes every load is clearly a big mistake.

Even if it's something that has to be that slow, cache the result.
