Sigh. All these publishers are doing by rushing games out the door is training future buyers to not want to buy games on release.

Sales figures keep going up so why would they wait?

Exactly. It was on games pass and it was still the most profitable release Bethesda has ever had. Why put in real effort when you don't have to?

People are even paying more to play it early, what are you talking about.

There's always a disconnect between gaming communities and reality.

Like how many boycotts did we have, and then the sales figures say differently?
