Helicopter Is an Advanced Door

Adding helicopters near the start of game dev: "A Helicopter is a Vehicle." Adding helicopters late in game dev: "When you think about it, a Helicopter is just a very advanced type of Door." "we realized that by flattening the door into an elongated plane and opening and closing it rapidly, it worked just like the rotors of a UH-60A/L Black Hawk"

A screenshot of a social media post jokes about how game developers reinterpret objects as development progresses. A helicopter starts as a vehicle, but later gets humorously reimagined as an advanced door by comparing its spinning rotors to a rapidly opening and closing door. It is used as a reaction to absurd technical rationalization and overcomplicated game design.
