Some of the greatest stories about games are simply about how developers made the thing work. Ask any developer for their favourite workarounds and you’ll get a full evening’s worth of entertainment about how a giant tram is actually an NPC with a hat on, or how rabbits are actually what makes Azeroth work, and…
