For once I would like a developer or publisher to come clean and give the reason why a game would release like this.
Apologies are good and all — and the promise to fix the problems is mandatory — but it comes across as insincere, when there’s an almost 100% chance that they knew of the problems before they released it.
I mean, I know why it happens. The publisher set a release date that they wanted to hit for some financial reason, and they were going to launch it no matter what state the game was in.
With the attitude of “we can patch it afterward” and the game-buying public seemingly unable to wait for reviews before they buy it, this is gonna keep happening. We should expect better.
I don’t think it’s too much to ask that a game is finished before it’s released. And if they’re not gonna stop, they should at be honest and give an explanation for why it happened.
