Aleksander MajjamI know every hates AI more than anything in the universe, but this music prompt thing from google is kind of cool.

SakashiroLooks like a phishing scam to collect people's gmail addresses.

Vasil VasilescuTypical Game Company: Let's knowingly release a rushed, buggy game and maybe fix it later. We must get lots of money and show a profit for our investors.
Modders Who Just Like The Game: Sorry, but we will have to delay our release. We want to be sure the mod works before releasing it because, as players, we hate buggy crap. Thanks for being patient with us.
Un1kornMoral of the story: Investors don't give a crap if you like the game or not.

They do, but you have to tell them with your wallet. If you buy and don't refund, they'll conclude that you're a happy customer. Which is reasonable because even preorders can be refunded.
What surprises me is that people were caught off guard by Starfield. Looking at Bethesda's recent performance, the writing was on the wall with sixteen times the detail.
Un1kornYeah.
And yet people keep buying shite games from devs known for pumping out crap without hesitation.
Hence I say that even if a handful change, it won't make a difference as the silent many just mindlessly buy anyway, and then give the ol' shocked Pika face when yet again the game sucks, as those devs and investors know that people are gonna' buy anyway.
Seriously: They don't give a crap about quality, as it's clear that the customer base as a whole doesn't either. If they did, they'd not buy anything.
But they do. There is blame on customers here too, and they are not always right. Usually the opposite actually.

Aleksander MajjamThese days, unless you are an up and coming dev and/or indie dev, you're pretty much shielded from any negative aspects pertaining to your game.Until the AI replaces you. Amen. Lol.
It all comes down to personal preference, and as such, who are you to tell someone that they are wrong for playing and/or enjoying a game that you don't like?
Even buggy is subjective for some people these days.
My opinion? People are deluding themselves if they think this game is ever going to be "fixed", which in itself is a thing that differs depending on who you ask.
MW3 is one of the worst reviewed games in terms of CoD, but will top a billion in sales
GT7 has the lowest reviewed user scores I've ever seen for a Sony game, but will sell millions anyway because it's a Sony exclusive.
The same with Bethesda games (which are now backed by the 2 trillion dollar company that owns them).
"Voting with your wallet" is also a term that's thrown around, but can it even make a dent? No. Not in the least.
Hence I say that even if a handful change, it won't make a difference as the silent many just mindlessly buy anyway
On one end of the spectrum, companies can go Larian's route and charge for early access.
I'm sure people will scoff at paying for an unfinished game
Honestly, complaining on X is probably a better way to get your voice in gaming heard, rather than voting with your wallet.
On the other end of the spectrum, companies don't mind releasing games in less than optimal states, because they can just fix them later. Not only will they pick up sales post-release, these companies will get acclaim for release games in a shit state and have a rise above the fire feel-good story to put out fixes to make a more round about game that should've been there on release. The industry and gamers literally reward this and it's hilarious to me that people will compare a months old Starfield release to a three year old fixed CP2077 release and say, "This is how it's done!" or "Look at what this game has that the other doesn't!" LOL. I mean, at the game awards, CDPR got the award for "Best Ongoing Game". You can literally have one of the worst releases in gaming and years down the line, win awards for putting out "ongoing" patches and fixes for your game where people will ignore your shit release game and compare your finished game as a benchmark.
