Absolutely, it’s impossible to know how much. But it’s a lot easier to grasp that it’s rarely just “changing a few lines” when it comes to these types of situations.

Specially since many programmers have encountered clients, managers, etc. who think it’s that simple as well.

Especially = particularly

Specially = for a specific purpose

My favorite one is “Just add multiplayer”.

Sure. I’ll just go right ahead and toggle it in the engine. Why didn’t I think of that?
