Reply to comment by IllKissYourBoobies in Released three unfinished products this year while raking in millions | Activision/Blizzard by [deleted]

How are consumers supposed to know the games will be unfinished on release?

We give the company 100% of the money to provide us with 100% of the product.

While in reality, we give them 100% of our money and they give us 25% of the product while charging us for the other 75% and its still broken after reselling it to us.

I mean to be fair, this isn’t new behavior. I haven’t bought a call of duty game since ghosts, or a halo game since 4, or any Ubisoft game since AC3, due to these types of issues. All 3 are now notorious for releasing half baked, bug filled, micro-transaction promoting garbage. Just stop buying products from shitty companies. If enough people do, they’ll have to go back into “winning-the-market” mode, where they actually give a shit.

Reviews, and doing your own research.

Don't buy the games on release. Wait for reviews.

I haven't bought a game within 6 months of release for over 7 years

You don't. You take this risk with many other products and services as well. Sometimes you get burned, and that's life.

The best thing you can do is trust a company's reputation. And let's just say that Activision hasn't given me any reason to trust them for the past 10-15 years. Why people still do so, I have no idea. If you enjoy their games, then more power to you. If you find yourself complaining constantly about their releases, then perhaps you should reevaluate your spending choices.

Maybe wait to buy it so that one can read the reviews...?

There are tons of reviews out for both games now. Anyone who chooses to buy them now is making an informed choice.
