I'm glad some heavy hitters are coming really looking forward to Alan wake. But this whole follow this to get this to work work around is just ludicrous just release the fucking things so I can pop a disc in the digital prices are an absolute joke bc is such a cluster fuck.
Yes, it's an "absolute joke" and a "cluster fuck" because Microsoft is daring to QA software before releasing it for consumption.
How dastardly evil of Microsoft to do such a thing!
If people are playing them they are ready. So to only have the digital up and to have a bullshit loophole to play them is a cluster fuck just release both versions.
With this kind of attitude, one has to wonder why companies even bother with QA. I mean, WouldYouKindly has SPOKEN!
If QA testers can play a game, then it must be 100% ready to go, so Microsoft should just skip QA and release it!
If this is what you honestly believe, then you have a lot to learn about software development.
If only MS would come out and say what games they're working on and people wouldn't have to do detective work to try and figure it out..
There are licensing/legal issues as well as backlash if things get delayed.
Just look at all the previous whining in this thread about Black Ops, Halo Wars and RDR and how Microsoft was "shit" for "holding them back."
WouldYouKindly's posts on the previous page are a shining example if it. Some beta games leaked and he thinks he deserves them all now. You run into the same thing with "we're working on XYZ" announcements.
Too many companies have gotten burned over the years. Easier to just announce when it is almost done, than to announce and run into a delay, or announce and end up cancelling.
