STOP THE HYPE

You know what I'm sick of? People getting onboard hype bandwagons without even playing the game they are hyped about. Developers basically get a free pass in terms of releasing unfinished content while they put the finishing touches in the form of paid DLC. One thing that also aggravates such behaviour is pre-ordering. In the past, it would've been insane to imagine that people would buy a game before it was even released. But now, thanks to pre-orders, that is a reality. Not to mention the myriad of pre-order-only content locked away so as to basically punish you for not purchasing the game early. 
If people want to bring video games back to their original glory, then we have to stop allowing developers to get away with incomplete products.
