Buggy Games: Lazy devs or sneaky tactic?

But remember, Batman was an exception more than the rule. It was released completely broken to the point that it was removed from sales, twice. That does not happen often, if ever.

ok yes, a rare occurrence I admit. I'm more interested in how it happens THREE TIMES.

Also, Beta testing! and this happens more often. games are released for alpha/beta testing, whether it be open or closed testing, they get all the feedback from the public testers and then release the game completely ignoring the beta feedback.

it feels beta testing has become more of a marketing gimmick these days
