How many AAA games ARE these days? Huge budgeted games ship unfinished every single time now. It's a problem that no one seems to notice and no one seems to care about.

Games shipping broken and/or not 100% complete and tested is why I get more excited about great indie games now isntead of AAA.

Even lower budget and indie games get patched.

If you dont like broken/buggy games then simply avoid them at launch. Also, you just might prefer. retro inspired indie games.

I do prefer retro inspired indie games. Most indie games ARE inspired by retro games though, right? And I know they get patches, but how many big indie games (Vvvvv, Braid, Meat Boy, Fez, Axiom Verge, Cave Story etc.) do you know that shipped broken and didn't work for extened periods or functioned poorly? I can't remember even one example myself. They just seem more polished. It's probably because most of them are a labor of love as opposed to souless corporate cash grabs.
