10 Video Game Problems That Piss EVERYONE Off

I have a question for game developers everywhere: are video game characters made of old parchment that's been soaked in gasoline and then hung up to dry before being lashed together into a human shape supported by fireworks instead of bones?

Because it sure does feel like it based on how quickly so many of them immediately combust whenever they so much as graze a flickering candle.

We aren't saying fire shouldn't hurt. Getting through a burning building should cause damage over time - it makes sense. Standing idle on a campfire for no reason should make you catch on fire, eventually. But too many games have us navigating their worlds like Frankenstein, too scared to even get close to a candle lest we light up and have to watch an animation of of our player character patting themself out and breathing frantically while our screen flashes red like some kind of danger strobe light.

Honestly, not much needs to be said on this one. It's a very small ask. Just make it take at least a few seconds before we're completely on fire!
