DICE not proud of buggy Battlefield 4 launch

This only happens because we allow it to. EA sets a release date months/years in advance and then the developer has to ship an unfinished, buggy product because of it. If the gaming community could just have a bit of patience and refuse to buy products like this until they're properly patched, companies are going to stop shipping buggy messes.

It's nonsense that games have to be patched after release to make them properly playable and it's the gaming community's fault with their pre-order and Day 1 purchasing culture.

Another thing that also plays in is the fact that with things like people buying Season Passes; which sets the precedent for a company knowing that they can cash in on just the prospect of quality instead of the actual thing. This logic thus allows them to apply it to new games on day 1. From a business perspective; I can see why they would rush a broken/buggy product out of the door because they have literally no fear of reprisal as long as they release a patch or 2 in the first week.
 
On that note; I personally refused to pay for my Arkham Origins pre-order because of the fact that the game itself didn't work as promised the day it was supposed to. Wasn't the first time I had done so and it wont be the last
