They can only test so much. It's impossible for them to test the live environment until it is released. Not only do they have 4 platforms with each running different OS versions, but they cannot know what other things are in the players' environment while the game is running, such as the available disk space and memory. And to complicate it even more, each platform and respective varying OSs are played on a wide variety of hardware. So many PCs out there (even a Mac can run Windows), so many different iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, Android phones, and Kindles are being used. Now they have a huge number of variations in the mix, along with their corresponding graphics cards, etc.

The more I think about all the complexities involved with the game, it's actually pretty remarkable it runs as well as it does! Especially when considering the frequent upgrades for new rooms and events. We may fuss when they do things like add unreasonably bright flashes that can trigger seizures, but taken as a whole, they're doing a pretty good job with the game.
