Dev here, you put stuff to test in them before they're ready for the actual game. It's a waste of time to go through the whole game whenever you need to test something so you just make the game start at the dev room.
People just make them connected to the rest of the game for fun.
What's the point of dev rooms?

Even better question: Why delete them in the first place?

>You also have shit like the dead NPC room in Skyrim. NPCs can't actually die, when they "die" they just get teleported into a cuck cube deep underground where they pretend to be dead, and reviving them teleports them from the cuck cube to the overworld.
This is not how it works. There's two different types of NPC in Skyrim, persistent and not persistent. Persistent stuff never gets deleted. That's why it's called persistent. It's by design. In order to not have bodies of persistent NPC cluttering up the world permanently they are moved to an inaccessible location after death. They are dead. If you call the IsDead function on them it returns true. Why are not deleted? Because how the fuck are you going to call the IsDead function on a deleted object?
>My guess is that Bethesda is truly so fucking bad at programming that they don't use classes properly and have to do these persistent hacks to read the properties of their pseudo-hacky-adhoc-class replacements because they can't initialize them again.
My guess is you are an idiot.

Why should they? As long as there's no glitches that can let a player get in without using the console, why not just leave it in? The only people who would find it at that point are curious players fucking about with the console and dataminers.

By making it a class function?
Brandon Gutierrez
A static function to refer to specific objects? That doesn't work, retard.
