In the finale of Double Fine's Devs Play, speedrunner SMK demonstrates glitches and exploits that skip entire sections of Psychonauts while Tim Schafer and the dev team watch. The developers react to and discuss the bugs as they appear.

Recommended as an entertaining, hilarious view of developers watching a speedrunner break their game.

For people who like this post, I highly recommend "Devs Play" S1E06 - Psychonauts "The SMK Speedrun" by Double Fine Production: ▶ this video They had a speedrunner running their game in front of the development team which is hilarious.

Psychonaut's dev reaction is my favorite one because they had one-to-one with a speedrunner talking about every game exploits used to get the fastest time possible.[1] [1]: ▶ this video

You might be interested in watching this speedrunner go through Psychonauts while the entire dev team watches. I found it entertaining and much more fun than trying to play it myself. :) ▶ this video
