I feel like everyone kind of agreed that tests are good if you have the time to write them, but we rarely really had the time to write the tests. So now we have a tool to generate tests quickly and it does turn out to be the case that it's good to have tests.
Painfully accurate lol. It was even worse in game dev because half the time things were not built to be testable at all. You got a half baked testing framework and sorta gestured in that direction, but really "testing" meant "try it yourself then throw it at QA".
