Ok so better for me and those who would be upset about wasting money and time on poor product. One example comes to mind, XCOM: The Bureau. I was excited about it for a long time but they had serious troubles developing it and finished product was a mess. I did enjoy it enough to finish it and so did couple of other gamers but in the end it would have been better just to cancel it. And maybe try again later if possible. It just flopped and disappointed those who bought and played it.

But no one is forcing you to buy it. Not only is there an incredible number of reviews of AAA games nowadays, either from sites like IGN, Gamespot or from youtubers, but you can also watch playthroughs on youtube to get a good idea what it's about. How many truly horrible games have had great reviews so far? I'm not talking about games you didn't like; I'm taling about products universally seen as poor. If you buy it day 1, I think it's on you. I'm sure there are enough people who played it and liked it and prefer that it was released rather than cancelled.

If you hate it that much, you can sell it and get most of your money back. If you're on the fence, just rent it.

Nobody is forcing me to buy anything and I'm not complaining about wasted money. I'm complaining about wasted potential, an interesting good idea for a game butchered by bad development etc. It's depressing and you can tell developers didn't manage to deliver their vision at all or make it work. And it sold very poorly, it must not have been good for publisher or developers either. But let's agree to disagree then.
