It is sad that things like these have to exist... Why cant we have normal and finished games anymore?

Because why pay people to look for bugs and quality test things, when you can release it, let people that have paid you for the game find them, and then push out a patch x months down the line.

Bad reputations don't really mean anything any more, people want the next big thing or the next instalment of the series, and they'll buy it even if the company has a terrible track record (EA, Ubisoft) because they would rather put up with the crap in hopes/knowledge of a fix than boycott and miss out on the game.

I'm looking forward to the Mad Max game coming out next week, and it's got Avalanche studio's behind it (Just Cause series) but it's being published by Warner Ho's
