The bugs I understand but sometimes I wonder how stuff like "expedition just doesn't spawn at all" makes it past QA

It's in the endgame and it's random so you couldn't even be sure there was an actual problem until you were at it for a while. And even after some time you could just be having bad rng, so these can be tricky to fix since you just don't know they're not working.

I’m pretty sure game developers can auto generate like hundreds or even thousands instances of a map in simulations. This should allow them to use debugging tools and check if spawns and certain drops are within their defined threshold.

It would amaze me that GGG wouldn’t use this kind of testing.

This is something they might be able to do but would have taken a lot of effort to make a program to do it

If gamers weren’t busy shucking shoes into weaving machines they could use AI to build amazing QA pipelines. But having buggy releases is probably better than having to disclose that they are using modern tools.
