It doesn’t change the fact that they over promised and under delivered and still raked in pre orders.

Until consumers figure out how to be patient, this is a trend in gaming that is going to continue. To NOT criticize it at every opportunity is doing yourself and every other gaming enthusiast a huge disservice.

That's why I always buy after release and usually wait for some discounts. But I plan to buy BG3 even if it's not discounted at the winter sale but I think it is pretty obvious that this game is pretty good already.

As long as some youtuber with a broom-handle-up-his-ass expression in the thumbnail keeps promoting day 1 games to increase FOMO, people will continue to preorder AAA games that they mass produce.
