I think people really just need to vet who they get their games from better.

Oh, I absolutely agree.

...saying never to trust them that puts them in the same category as the shitty ones which is wrong.

I've been playing games long enough to see so many publishers walk back on promises to the gaming community. Activision, Bethesda, Square, Ubisoft, EA, Capcom...and a lot more. I pre-order games as well, yet I know that if I'm disappointed with the studio then that's my fault. I bought the game...caveat emptor.

Never trusting a studio to fulfill their promises good advice to a gamer. Always understand that the relationship between the gamer and a studio is tenuous. It's only worth the studio's most recent release.
