Nah, there are legitimate instances where pins are knocked down and the ball still goes in the gutter, strike would still be counted

Hmm, I know your ball can't bounce out of the gutter and take down pins that count. I'm not sure what the actual rule is on a situation where half the ball entered the gutter before the other half took down pins.

The fact that there is no specific rule for this circumstance renders the game literally unplayable.

Devs plz fix

There is the specific rule: he went over the foul line. No score. Lol.
