How to disable "development build" watermark?
We want/need symbols in both our debug and release builds, but the watermark makes it useless in our situation.
How can I keep "Development Build" checked - to keep symbol generation, but disable the watermark?
Why isn't symbol generation its own build option? It's not tied to debug builds in any reasonable compiler.

When you go into the build options and check the "Development Build" option, you get the watermark to let people know what it is, that it's a work in progress. When an error occurs, you should fix it so it doesn't happen again, but when you release the playable, full, not WIP version, uncheck development build, it's unprofessional to be playing a game when you aren't part of the team to find a small error occurring, not that the player would notice, but once the "AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED! I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE A DEVELOPER!"(Not word for word) will make the player uneasy. But if that's not what you need... I got nothin'. Sorry for the cr*ppy answer.
