I never thought I'd give credit to CD Projekt Red because they're the company that finally black pilled me permanently on modern releases. They do deserve credit though because even if their launch was a total shitshow by anyone's standard they have 'technically' been fixing the crashes and FPS issues plaguing the game and they don't have any major game breaking stuff in it that prevents you from even progressing the fucking story.
It really is atrocious and I am thinking of two titles in particular Baldur's Gate 3 and Rogue Trader. It's extremely annoying because even the negative reviews don't really talk about any of this which is why letting normies into gaming was a mistake. There are some game breaking bugs in these games that are either incredibly annoying to the point it made me not want to go near it anymore or they break the game and mean you can't even progress anymore.
Instead all it is retarded meme posting and people going "lulz gay sex and waifus take my updoots" and the only mention you can find on some of these bugs that are pretty significant is some obscure thread on steam or reddit that talks about it where it quietly gets stealth patched. The fuck are the programmers thinking? The only way they could possibly have allowed something that bad to get through is if they simply didn't give a shit, wrote the code and then declared it finished until the bug was found by gamers sometimes months later in release. It of course takes people awhile to pick up on these bugs depending on the size of the game and how far into the game it happened.
Play your own fucking games devs wtf, I have no respect for this.
Here I was just praising WoW too. I never played WC3 and had no idea. I agree that's complete BS, man.
Its worse than it sounds. The final campaign is a pseudo open world RPG with 3 "missions" that can take 5-10 hours to fully explore and complete each.
So it launches with 1 huge mission for you to get deep into and start enjoying, only to then blindside you when you get on the boat that "oops we didn't have time to finish this campaign, give us a few months!"
And of course it was the canary in the coal mine of Blizzard's retarded politics baked into it too. Where Jaina's dad is "evil" because he was a veteran of the Old War and doesn't trust Orcs setting up a capital within a stone's throw of his nation after all the evil they did. So his own daughter betrays and murders him for her new Orc bf, because they said they were sorry and dindu nuffin because it was all da demons fault anyway.
