Can authors write for games dealing with topics they don't understand?

Very very lame.

It wasn't realistic because the girl wasn't slutting it up.

What the fuck is this format? Is this how zoomers convey information? Couldn't you have chosen a better image for your thread?

well don't worry, because there's no place for you in the future, anyway.

Borderlands 3.

90% of stories are not trying to be realistic, or even convincing. In fact being either is usually antithetical to what they're actually going for, which is being entertaining. Writers usually have no idea about how the topic they're writing about works in real life, it's far more important to just be able to write entertaining characters or interesting drama or whatever when you're writing fiction.

How do you tell the jpg artifacts/

Game Dev here, I'm involved in this process right now for an upcoming game, can't tell you the title or too much, but the plot is about assassinations and destabilizing swathes of the world.
One of our studies in the writing department was on the elimination of a traitor/ potential snitch who was under protective custody and how an assassin might get into a highly secured facility to take out the snitch where we had to look into how to disable backup security systems, engineer timetables to make an unguarded opening and what means of P.O.S. killing tools could be used without arousing too much suspicion.
I like to think we did a thorough job, but there's always going to be holes, room for that one looney to point out some tinfoil hatter style conspiracy that someone might notice but nobody would likely believe.

except most video game writing isn't even entertaining to anyone with a mental age above 16. they just suck and paired with the fact that most of them are lifeless losers it makes everything they write bland and unengaging even when you passively skim read it

Yes.
