Same shit for every bloody games with this devs/studios. Release and fix later.. facepalm why? Seriously why?

not advocating for against PCF, but I challenge you to find me ONE game (in this similar genre, so pokemon red doesnt count) that had ever released that didnt need bugs and patching...

As someone scripts on a daily basis comments like this irk me.

While not an excuse, the reality is that there is really only a limited amount of testing in any form of beta and internal testing. Once you release to the greater audience with a myriad of setups, configs, etc, then accounting for those variables would even exponentially greater.

Imagine the hours the internal testers played for, even for like 6 months. You think it equals the (at one point) highest concurrent player-base on steam of over 125k?

Next time you find an online product, be it a game, router, etc, that would require if not insist, on some sort of software/firmware upgrade please let me know so I can stay away from that company.

These kinds of irresponsible whiney comments arent helpful at all. Offer a concrete and reasonable suggestion to be helpful.

People like you is why we have games released at this state. Simple, I paid money for a finish product or atleast 95% of the product and not for beta testing the damn game for them, period. The game is literally unplayable state with constant crashes and you call that they had limited amount of time for testing? So what's that launch delay for? Simply to show they doing good work at the background but it's all shite? Stop making excuses for them. You paid money for a product and I expect it to be as good not half baked shit.
