This trend needs to end

I agree, but the solution is simple: Don't buy AAA games. Focus on Indie games and Nintendo.

That's what I'm doing and I'm enjoying gaming quite a bit these days. Plus I saved myself 500 bucks because I don't need a PlayStation in this gen. Switch and Steam Deck are perfectly fine to play all the games that are actually worth my time.

AAA is dead, just deal with that and you can enjoy gaming.

That's not a solution. I want AAA games with high production value, whereas indie is meh to me, barring some exceptions. And Nintendo doesn't have games that I want.

At least part of the solution is to stop preordering. It's the stupidest thing in the world. Don't give them your money until you see the final product, that's the only way they will learn.
