Releasing broken games at full price, when the developers and publisher know full well the game is unplayable, should lead to the game being delisted from platforms. An apology right after release, claiming they are “hearing” the community and promises to fix the issues, don’t cut it
Yeah I installed off from game pass and uninstalled a few days later. It needs to cook a little more. Hopefully they go as good as a job of fixing their game as CDPR or Hello Games. Disappointing that bean counters and not creative types are the people who get to make those choices. But that’s capitalism for yah.
Not the only game that is like that. It is getting to the point where there no use buying a game until two years after it has been released. :/
The release of CS2 mean to me now is the right time to fully enjoy CS1, a complete Game with hundreds of mods.
Stop.
Pre-ordering.
Games.
They can only blame themselves for buying an unfinished game.
Then don’t buy it when it releases that way 🤷🏻
If only idiots stopped buying garbage, we would get less garbage
Well i just didnt buy it.
Easy as that
They completely missed the target demographic.
I mean, sure it has better things, but playing the game is more frustrating than watching paint dry.
This wouldnt hit has hard if it came out with mods support. Same for starfield.
I love how there’s both whinging about how unfinished and unplayable the game is AND constant posts about someone’s latest 200k city or someone posting up basically city art of their meticulously hand-crafted creation.
So is it an unfinished, unplayable train wreck or is it a functioning game with plenty of people enjoying it? It can’t be both.
Well.. I still have this one and KSP2 on my wishlist waiting for them to be good. I really want to play both of them…
Whenever I see videos or screenshots of that game it looks like it’s 20 years old… Just visually not appealing at all.
Vote with your wallet. No one can be forced to buy this thing right? Do you think this behaviour will change if people still pre-order and are not asking for refunds? Insanity.
They’re just asking for everyone to pirate the game.
I knew going in when they announced it it would be an absolute shit show and I wanted to wait for mods anyways. Just like 1 I’ll probably pick it up like 5-6 years after release on sale
Kinda ironic, a huge part of the success of Cities: Skylines was that SimCity was released as a buggy mess and people moved to the other option which turned out to be much better.
Agreed. Full price for a broken game is robbery. Don’t be a sucker, folks
For now, I deleted CS2 and reinstalled CS1.
There should be severe legal consequences for selling non-functional games.
We Do Not Pre-Order. (GNU Totalbiscuit.)
That said, it’s one thing for a game with mechanics as detailed and complicated as C:S2 to have issues that the closed beta didn’t catch, but any developer or publisher that releases a game in a less feature-complete and playable state than its own prequel deserves every bit of the absolkute roasting they’ll get for it.
It’d be nice if Steam could protect customers by evicting broken games or at least heavily warn players about specific developers and titles. Help raise the standards.
Also, releasing a game with a concept that players like, only to then string people along in “early access” for a decade should be illegal. It is clearly abusing the intention of early access releases. You’re supposed to work on the game, not string people along until everyone loses interest and you can walk away with the money, which btw can’t be refunded under the current early access rules. It should be considered a scam.
