As long as most first party games release polished I'm fine. I don't buy AAA third party games day one or at all baring some exceptions. Capcom games and most Koei Tecmo games are also usually polished at launch.

I feel like despite this being a major problem many people do overreact and overblow the issue. It's really just a certain type of game that launches like this. Big AAA, mostly western developed games that are either shooters, WRPGs, sports games or action-adventure games.


Sony, Nintendo, most Japanese third parties and by far most indies launch their products in a functioning state. The biggest offenders of terrible launches have been bought by Microsoft, those are Bethesda and Activision. Both will most likely as a result from that in the future launch their games in a more than just acceptable state.

The other big offenders like EA and Ubisoft don't launch nearly all of their games in a broken state. Square Enix only had a few cases I know of so far.
