Seriously sick of the bugged out release trend. Just finish the game
This also falls to the - omnipresent nowadays - Enshittification category.
Games like No Man's Sky, The Master Chief Collection, and Cyberpunk 2077 are praised nonstop for fixing games well after launch. There's basically no repercussions for a company to do this. I just don't buy games anymore unless I have looked at plenty of reviews that seem to agree that it's up to my standards. And my standards are honestly lower than most people's.
