QL was our first game and although it was a big milestone for us, it was created at a time before we understood version control software. We do not have access to the source code anymore and cannot make any fixes or changes to the game. Because of this, we have decided to disable the ability for anyone to buy copies of the game. Thank you for your time and feel free to reach out to us.

The trailer looks like an awesome vaporwave freeze tag indie game.

Incompetence might even be a little harsh. Inexperience or incompetence maybe. I prefer inexperience.

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Incompetence is fine. Incompetence can come from different sources, including inexperience.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
