Should gamers be able to get a refund if a game is broken at launch such as Unity and Halo: MCC?

Hell no. It's your own damn fault for buying a broken ass game day 1. This is what reviews are for.

Do you remember Battlefield 4? All the reviewers were saying how great the game was only for it to go down as one of the most broken games in recent times. Heck I think it still has issues to this day.

There are a lot of shady stuff that goes on with mainstream reviewers.

That's why you NEVER trust reviews for the first week. Most reviewers get their copy before the game even launches, and play on emptyish servers, or in private lobbies. Some issues may not even show up until a day or two in.

It's your responsibility to wait and see user opinions. Plenty of people were complaining about the game soon after it launched, if someone did even a speck of research they would know this. Consumers can't just lay on the ground and hope that companies will quality test everything, cause they won't. We have to watch out for ourselves. Literally 5 minutes of internet searching could save you $60 from buying a broken game.

As long as you never pre-order and read user reviews, you will be fine. It takes maybe five minutes to do a quick Google search to find out if a game is broken. That's how it has been since video games were invented.

If you really are confident in a company/game, then pre-order. If not, you have no one to blame but yourself if you pre-order and the game turns out broken.
