What if the game never gets good? I can say from my own personal experience, I've wasted too much money in my life on buying a game on blind faith.
So, to all the game developers out there, I know you can hear me, and guess what, you will never rip me off again. I don't give a shit any more about your problems - more lay offs and loss of revenue is your problem because your game SUCKS !!!!
Give me a demo, and let me try your game without any money involved, if I like it, I will gladly fork over my hard earned money to play it again, otherwise, I have no sympathy for your line of work.
