You're right that this kind of stuff is sort of par for the course. As in other cases, it's indicative of (IMO) a bad development process that they didn't budge

You're right that this kind of stuff is sort of par for the course. As in other cases, it's indicative of (IMO) a bad development process that they didn't budget the time to polish before shipping. I save my games budget for stuff that is "done when it's done", not rushed out, mostly out of principle. If you aggressively min-max development cost & time vs features, there are big external costs in terms of waste (poorly performing software carries an energy and hardware cost,) end-user frustration, stress on workers, etc., which is how I justify voting with my money against such things.
