Just look at all the bugs and unfulfilled promises in games released. They make a ton of money, but as much or more money goes into marketing than into the programming.
- Retra 10y agoThat's because they're selling the experience of hype, not high-quality software. Nobody even cares about software quality for games. Some people even prefer buggy ones.
- helthanatos 10y agoTo an extent. I like buggy games if they let me "cheat" in the game, as long as it's single player and the game is finished besides bugs. For multiplayer, there should be no bugs or exploits and those should be fixed immediately. Honestly, I hate hype and would prefer people to stop spreading hype and promises from the devs that they may have forgotten about. I would prefer devs and designers to be the ones leading game development, not publishers that want them "as fast as possible." That mentality needs to stop and games need to possess more intention than being a semifun money grab.
