Game devs so often get public flack for decisions outside their control i really wanted to highlight this part
Flack? Giving someone some slack is giving them a break. Giving someone flack is giving them a hard time. If something’s outside someone’s control, giving them slack about it is a kind thing but giving them flack would be unfair.
Flak. If you think the spelling is weird, it's someone's name.
Thank you!
