Management
Almost all of the issues with 343 seem to trace back to issues that should have been filtered out by a compotent management team, which doesn't seem to exist at 343.
At some point, employees also share responsibilities. Management may be an issue, but management doesn't go into this kind of details such a the one I mentioned. All employees have a certain degree of agency where they can take their own decisions, check their own perimeter to ensure things are working well.
It's either they really don't have enough people to do the amount of work necessary for this kind of thing, or that at some point, employees themselves aren't implicated enough to check this kind of thing by themselves without having to be ordered to do by the upper management.
For instance, I did worked at Microsoft France as Designer, and even if Management hasn't been Microsoft's most brillant asset, we had enough freedom to take responsibilities for our own perimeters and do our own check without being interrupted or followed by the upper management. They trusted us to do what was required for the Product we worked on to be top notch and appropriate for our users.
While Management at 343 is probably a big issue, seeing all those kind of errors and little details failing there and there make me question the employees's implication as well.

On another note, I recently checked
Cylix to see what was coming for Season 2 in term of Event and elements to unlock, and I created several visuals for my website regarding the different Event Passes we're going to have during this season.
It's in French, but there's not much text, so feel free to use them if needed, or even just to have a look at the rewards the free pass will give you 😄
