I mean seriously it's getting so bad. Games are just not coming out finished either they're missing features or they're buggy as all hell.
Tales of symphonia and Pokémon scarlet/violet are two main ones that pop into mind for clearly being shoved out when they weren't ready and the companies either going "fuck it, we'll fix it later" or "fuck em they'll buy it anyway, we'll just ignore it"
If I want to buy a game in EA then I will. If a game releases it fucking better be ready for consumers to play. I don't want to buy a game and not play it because "fixes" or features are coming a month later that'll make the experience better.
Also because of this physical games are becoming so pointless to buy because the code attached to the physical product is so fucking shit that if those patches ever stop being distributed then you're stuck with some really really bad code.
Will patches be switched off when it matters? Probably not. But for those who collect this shit and love going back to old consoles one day those patch servers are going to be shutdown and then? you're fucked. (PC not applicable if you've got the files of course)
Prices are going up for gaming. You want me to spend £70 on a brand new game because development costs have went up? Then make it worthwhile to FUCKING BUY IT.
Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Oh and EA = Early Access. Although if you want to see it as EA then an argument can be made the above fits that company.
