Programmer with over a decade of experience in the games industry. Primarily focused on UX and UI Engineering.
When my wife was teaching, she had entire classrooms of middle school and high school kids who went home every night and watched game streams. Only a few of them in each class actually played any games at all.

Not a compiler warning, but the server for an MMORPG I worked on had a "Warning: the Master Watchdog is from another Universe..."

The ominous ellipsis really sold it.

I had the same beige box from the time I was 12 until I left college, but kept upgrading the insides. Got a lot of compliments at campus LAN parties. Unfortunately I had to swap out when modern cooling solutions and GPUs stopped physically fitting inside it.

From an end user perspective, they shouldn't have to use anything other than the controller to play once steam launches the title. They also shouldn't be required to fiddle with any settings or configurations. It should "just work."
