WHy not simply adopt a gaming rule for yourself (as I have done) to wait a few months before diving into a new game? This is very much a sincere question.

I guess I would say the joke's on me for holding on to some seemingly long gone values when it comes to video games...

Owlcat have been very confident about their ability to release the game in a good state, and since they are a small studio full of passionate people I (foolishly) trusted they'll deliver the best experience possible.

But yeah, it's probably the last time I'm gonna do that.

The problem is not with me specifically though. The problem (which may be a lost battle at this point) is that even honest developers like Owlcat abuse people's enthusiasm and expectation and bank on them being forgiving provided they'll fix most stuff some months later. My comment was merely to (maybe pointlessly, but let's be fair we do it a lot here) express my big hate for this practice. And I'm in a bit of a bind because on the one hand I love owlcat games and want them to succeed, but on the other the whole deal just doesn't seem fair, especially when owlcat could have acted differently.
