Gamers expecting it to be more polished have never worked in games. Things tend to look awful up until close to the end.

- capableweb 4y agoThis is true. Games generally look like trash up until everything gets put together for actual release, which can be as late as half/one year before it's supposed to hit the proverbial shelves.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoIntuitively this makes the most sense to me, because "looking like trash" can mean textures, model fixing, physics, etc. which adds to the immersion but is purely throwaway work if the game mechanic, area, or storyline is changed.
- ketzo 4y agoMost people don’t know how most things work. PR is still a thing.
- squeaky-clean 4y agoWhile very true, that's why marketing departments don't like uncontrolled leaks. On top of it looking unfinished, many locations or features might get cut from the final game. And you don't want a big percentage of your buyers hyped for a feature you never officially confirmed.
