(3,220 posts)All of the AAA, big titles now don't care about the quality or creativity of the game you're getting. That's why companies like Blizzard, Activision, and Electronic Arts push out these half finished games - because they can, and people will buy them anyways.
These corporate games are made by huge corporations, programmed by people making no money at all and working 18 hour days (usually being completely off-shore), and planned (levels, art, concept) by white collar stiffs with no concept of fun or play-ability.
The idea for these AAA titles now is to release the unfinished game, and then finish it through DLCs. It's basically getting you to buy the game, and then pay even more for it later on rather than just increasing the price at launch.
This is basically why Indie titles are big now. People are tired of the same garbage over and over again. Indie game makers care about their games, unlike Activision, EA, and Blizzard.
