This game was released 10 years after git, and we already had backups since the 80s. Why are they lying?
You’re trying to find maliciousness where there’s only incompetence.
Incompetence might even be a little harsh. Inexperience or incompetence maybe. I prefer inexperience.
Incompetence is fine. Incompetence can come from different sources, including inexperience.
Incompetence is usually used as an insult, so using it in the case of inexperience tends to be mean-spirited.
Fair point.
But to be fair, "you're inexperienced" can also be used as an insult.
Might be personal bias, but I see "you're inexperienced" as "learn some more and come back later" and "you're incompetent" as "get out of my sight and never come back".
True.
It could also be purportedly condescending. Still an insult.
Elaborate on the finer differences
Inexperience is failing before becoming familiar with a task. Incompetence is failing repeatedly after becoming familiar with a task.
I think you're reading more into the statement than is there. Their studio was founded the same year this game released, with only one of the two founders described as a programmer. I'm pretty sure they mean "we" as in "the two guys that founded the studio".
Your username is not the best ever. Why are you lying?
Audience: oooooh!
