This is why I don’t buy or play games on release day. It’s never worth the aggravation.
Just wait a week ffs. Why do you all NEED it on release day? Yall are part of the problem.
Patient gamers unite! I wait until that game I want hits AT LEAST -75% off.
The only exception I've had for that rule for myself in recent memory is for Monsterhunter games.
You look hard enough (or maybe not very hard at all) and you can see which developers and companies can't do launch days very well, or release too early. Blizzard/Activision, CDProject Red, Ubisoft, and Microsoft come to mind.
It's the smaller to mid-size companies that have something to prove that release something more polished. Not always the case, but you've gotta stand out somehow.
If I buy a product, it should work properly regardless of what day I bought it.
