Making a roguelike is fun because you’ll get an email like “BUG: Game said there was an only a 1 in 5 chance of something bad happening and it happened. Please fix”

Didn't XCOM have a similar problem where they have to fake probabilities and calculations for hitting something, because people were upset that their 90% hit chance didn't actually hit?

Most games with RNG perceived as "fair" by the player cheat in favor of the player all the time, XCOM on the other hand only cheats in favor of the player under specific conditions and even that's only on lower difficulties. Many have complained about it, but as the saying goes, "That's XCOM baby!"

XCOM gives players an invisible, cumulative boost every time they miss a consecutive shot.
