It sucks for the player and it sucks for the round. Sticky is right.
you used to be able to throw shit at the window until it breaks, then the grille, and then spacewalk to arrivals and barely take damage. it was definitely designed to be escapable. most players nowadays think that weaknesses in the station design are shitty mapping and not intentional to allow avenues of gameplay.

on box at least it was impossible to get to arrivals or escape without passing out from oxygen loss without a pill to offset it. any ability to escape without outside help was not intended. usually breaking the window would result in the permabrig being spaced. the vast majority of people trying to escape that way died.
