Hydra hotfix

When a video game developer, typically Indie, releases an update for their game without performing thorough quality control checks beforehand, causing the update to introduce new bugs in their game. Eager to fix these issues, they release a hotfix to patch the issue, but it only introduces even more bugs to fix. Lacking patience and any sort of effective quality control protocols, the game developer ends up releasing dozens of hotfixes for their previous hotfixes, creating an avoidable amount of hotfixes that would've been unnecessary had the dev taken more time to perform all necessary testing to identify potential flaws with their changes.

user1: "wtf is with all these hotfixes?"
user2: "the dev made a hydra hotfix and had to go on a wild goose chase to get everything fixed"
user1: "ffs does anyone even know what quality control is anymore"

hydra's squabble

A piece of information or statement in an online wiki (usually one with less moderation) that contradicts another statement in that same wiki.

Person A: Time to look up how hard Button Mashing 5 is on the Button Mashing Wiki.
From the Button Mashing Series page: "Button Mashing 5 has been described by fans as one of the easiest installments in the series to complete..."
From the Button Mashing 5 page: "Button Mashing 5 completely reworks the combat system to make it the toughest game to beat."
Person A: Oh great, a hydra's squabble. Guess I'll have to find a video review to get an opinion.
