It’s pretty simple. In gaming specifically, the more people continue to buy into a greedy practice a company employs, that’ll make the company want to employ more greedy practices. And this has snowballed over the years to the point that making money takes priority over actually making a good game anymore. After all, why make an amazing game when the majority of gamers will buy a trash or mid game anyway and pay for micro transactions, dlcs, pre-orders, etc anyway. And it’s people like you who are feeding the problem. Just eating it all up like slop

I'm going to buy GTA 6 regardless so I preordered it. If that makes you mad then idgaf. Stay mad. Won't effect me in the slightest.

Oh but it will eventually. I’m sure there was people like you when Bethesda first released horse armor. But hey if you wanna destroy this hobby and make it unaffordable for everyone else, that’s fine. Piracy is always an option after all.

You're such a dumb drama queen. Preordering is not a hobby destroying practice. Whine about something that actually matters if you want people to take you remotely serious

Either you’re incredibly ignorant, young, or both. No one is complaining about what you spend your money on. It’s just that most AAA games are terrible nowadays due to greedy practices from companies based on how players wastefully spend their hard earned money. Loot boxes and battle passes plague every game and micro transactions are everywhere. I personally don’t care about AAA games much as indie games have shot up in popularity this past decade but things will continue to get worse if people don’t wise up. At least the lastest CoD is getting some backlash finally.

You're literally complaining about how people choose to spend their money. I might have had a shred of respect for your point if you were at least honest about that

Not once did I personally complain about what others do with their money. I mainly play indie games anyways so I don’t care if the entire AAA industry crashed and burned.

I can just get a decent pc :/ so I don’t really care too much. Piracy is the best option now

Preordering encourages developers to release half baked games, the throughline is clear, you just have monkey brain
