What did we learn?
That's right! Stop buying games when or before they release!
Seriously though, what do people expect? Just wait a couple weeks after release and see what happens, it won't kill you.
Additionally, don’t buy any products from Ubisoft, EA, Activision, or pretty much any other AAA developer/publisher
Don't buy corporate games.
I didn't learn anything. I was right all along.
People don't learn a damned thing.
Some know and stay away from this type of shit. But everyone else will keep repeating the same mistake over and over again.
And that is why non of us get to have nice things.
People say this every time it happens, and AAA game developers have been putting out unfinished broken crap for exorbitant prices for well over a decade, now. Don't preorder after starfield, don't preorder after cyberpunk, don't preorder after fallout 76, don't preorder after anthem, don't preorder after...
Oh wait, there's a new game coming out soon, I should preorder, can't wait to play it!
The people saying it are generally not the ones supporting the practice, unfortunately the vast majority of gamers just don't care and buy whatever big thing is marketed to them or hyped up through streamers/youtubers.
See, I'm reading this while contemplating buying the space marine 2 pre-order so I can bring justice to heretics before I realize the game has flaws at all.
