I think both ideas can be true: that game development is a complex, creative endeavor and that as a product, consumers can be dissatisfied with a video game they paid $70 for.

Lately, I'm finding myself waiting for sales on AAA games because so many release in a buggy, incomplete state. This paid dividends with games like Jedi Survivor, that had a big number of bugs and performance issues at launch and plays decently now several months later.

$70

This is why I will never buy a game brand new again.

Company's making record profits yet still trying to convince me they need to raise prices.

Lower quality, higher price. Fuck that noise
