I just thought I'd point this out given how many people seem to act like publishers have a direct feed into their bank account and are completely powerless to prevent the big bad corporations having their pants down. I don't need a perma-angry YouTuber to tell me what I should object to, either.
Honestly, it really isn't difficult. There are a million and one sources of good reviews/videos, forums like this one where issues are reported within 3 freaking seconds of a game release and Steam refunds. Ignore the pre-release hype, stop trusting marketing departments and have a little common sense. You control the purse strings, ergo, you have all the power. Stop acting like a bunch of addicts incapable of free-will and take some responsibility. Pre-order a game, you're taking a gamble. Buy a season pass, you're taking a gamble. Trusting all the hype before waiting a day or so and reading the reviews, same. People know this, it's not new news.
