MODERATORS
While I agree with everything else, I think it's the opposite of this, money has everything to do with it. If people stopped preordering and buying day 1 every AAA game, they would rethink their strategy, but since money keeps coming the don't need to change much.
Yes, the issue is the low standards.
I absolutely agree. Customers are just endorphin (dopamine?) riddled animals waiting for the next opportunity for expenditure to drop.
I'm not even joking, this is the problem with pretty much everything. If we could pace ourselves, the world would look very different, but we just can't stop consuming. I have colleagues who kill boredom with shopping.
