Self absorbed springs to mind when a developer thinks they should be treated as a special case rather then like everyone else. The certification process exists for a reason, and that reason is that third party developers cannot be expected to police themselves. Nor should they ever be exempt from certification that is to great a temptation. A temptation to do what is best for them and bad for the consumer.
I also like the comments about seat of the pants patching. I do not care what developer you are talking about doing that kind of thing on a console is a recipe for disaster. Every PC gamer at one point or another has had to debug their game, or had to alter key aspects of their system to make a piece of software workable. That is not an option on a console. We do not have the power over file that one has a PC. So one wrong line of code could leave a game null and void, and it is going to happen.
This kind of logic irritates me to no end. I have read similar nonsense from perhaps a dozen developers. They would love to run the quality right down into the ground the way it has been on the PC for years, because nobody is forcing developers into competent delivery. I wonder if they understand that one of the reasons consumers purchase consoles is to avoid any risk of having to go through the idiocy.
