Only committee-approved and/or mandated easter eggs permitted. Don't forget to catalogue them all so the social media team have more content.

It's all fun and games until you leave a literal sex-game(1) in there prompting geriatric lawmakers(2) to get into the action (3).

(And yes, I've worked in games myself so I 100% see the reason why they left it in disabled, iirc there is 2 or 3 levels with geometries but broken scripts included on disc in the largest game I worked on)

Although in this case, it wasn't even an actual easter egg, just removed content still on the disc.

Yep, which makes them features rather than easter eggs. Easter eggs should be subversive and unapproved.

It's a loss for sure, but at least they still appear in some indie games.
