Well thats why we have reviewers. No company is going to advertise that their game is glitchy and buggy on the box. Its so easy to get information about games these days. Metacritic, youtube, twitter, gaming sites etc. So tricking people is pretty much impossible at this point. |
The customer shouldn't be expected to do a fucking research job in order to find out if the next main Pokémon game is going to be a technical mess. It's the company who has the responsibility to deliver a functional product.
And maybe they can't trick us, the avid "gamers" who are constantly looking up info on their favourite hobby. But what about parents or grandparents, whose kids are the main bulk of those 10m sales? I doubt most of them know that Metacritic or game reviews are a thing.
Instead of telling people that they are a bunch of idiots for trusting that a shelved product of the biggest entertainment franchise ever should be in optimal conditions, maybe we should be calling out the multi-bilion dolar company who's responsible for the whole mess.
