Devs delay a game,they get slammed.
To delay a game once is carefulness. To delay a game thrice is carelessness.
Devs release a game with bugs(that peeps know will be fixed) they get slammed.
Maybe if they didn't set over-optimistic release windows, there would be enough time to get rid of bugs before release? You know, like
EVERY GODDAMN PUBLISHER DID BEFORE DEVS COULD RELEASE SHIT AND FIX IT LATER. Your code is not part of a Cinderella story. It will not turn into a pumpkin if you don't publish it before some arbitrary date.
This excuse infuriates me. For one, it's usually only uttered by millenials and zoomers who don't understand that this is not normal, or acceptable. Those of us that grew up before digital distribution understand that releasing broken shit at launch is a fairly new phenomenon on consoles. You had one shot, maybe two if you were lucky with a reprint, and that's what everyone had for all time.
For two, it's white knighting
corporations. And doing that alone is bad enough, but doing that with
this game? Fuck.
For three, you deadass gonna ignore the downright deceptive marketing of not showing any gameplay from the console revs?
Fuckin snowflake gamers shit me.
Fuckin white knights shit me.
The nerve of those gamers, demanding a working product. How fucking dare they!
