I also wanted to comment on needing it because games aren’t supposed to fail. The way you actually do that is not to try to recover from errors but to surface them quickly and fix them at the point of failure. Ideally before shipping. Recovery is usually very difficult because games are a collection of very dependent state and if you don’t recover correctly letting the game continue after an error is very likely to result in all sorts of other bizarre issues happening. This can also be very subtle where the accumulation of errors leads to a sudden obvious issue and finding the root cause is very difficult. Whereas failing early and loudly makes things much easier.
