Pretty simple answer for me that it doesn´t make sense to buy at launch.
You´re getting a buggier product that will often lack later content at the highest possible price.
Honestly I´m taken aback by people arguing against that somehow.
I mean, OK anybody can be so enthusiastic they want immediate gratification. Advertising works, apparently.
I can make similar choices that aren´t really the best over-all value.
But I don´t then go and argue it is the best over-all value (time or money),
I just chalk it up to my superficial sentiment and impulsivity, not something to stand up to serious assessment.
Nothing to defend really, even if it you don´t consider it the worst thing in the world.
Consider: there is an impoverished kid with no prospects for advancement, who doesn´t even have time to play many games.
Can you honestly recommend they spend their very limited money on one overpriced bugged out day 1 game?
Or could they spend that on fully patched DLC´d discounted game? Highere quality and cheaper to better their life over all.
Come on, that´s easy.
I don´t know why it´s hard to just treat the topic honestly and directly and not get hysteric defending impulsive and wasteful choices.
EDIT: I will make an exception: you know you will soon die to incurable illness, and want to play some brand new game,
even if it isn´t fully patched and even if it´s over-priced at launch. I think that exception proves the rule of what I am saying.
