People that have that attitude are why almost every game released today is 3/4ths finished at release. If people dont complain about the sorry state of the industry, the industry has no reason to change.
I consistently don’t buy games that aren’t ready by being a patient shopper, and watching reviews or gameplay before spending money. If you consistently jump on the hype train, buy a copy before knowing anything about the state of the game, and then “complain” to fix it, I have news:
10/10 AAA publishers would rather have $60 and a complaint than $0.
Due diligence is the solution, publishers are now very practiced at weathering criticism.

Agreed although complaining isn’t the solution, voting with your wallet is the solution
Voting with your wallet requires that someone else have warned you about that game not being worth buying. Complaints are your friend.
That’s my entire point
