Games being buggy at release is nothing new, sure. But it certainly isn't an excuse, nor a trend I think we as gamers should support. Regarding Kingmaker, I did read about just how buggy it was, and decided not buy it. I bought it and played it last november (about 1 year after release?), good game. Inexcusably poor at release? Probably.
Even though I honestly would like to think I'm somewhat tolerant, I just don't want to be a beta tester, and I don't appreciate being made one when paying full price for a fully released product (I did study software engineering at college so I really do understand bugs are not something you can get rid of entirely).
As for my release purchase of Andromeda 3 years ago, what can I say.. I was (and still am) a Bioware fan, and a Mass Effect fan
There's some of my favourite developers who's game I buy straight away, or even pre-order ( This year of 2020: Naughty Dog's The Last of Us 2 and CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077). Bioware's managed to remove themselves from this list through Andromeda, for sure.
Being patient is good advice. But being patient when you're a hyped up fanboy is tough
But hey, I have noticed it gets easier as you get older
