Selling broken games should be against the rules

[dorkenstein]

Some games ship with game breaking bugs and never get fixed. This should be illegal. Steam also should de-list these types of games until the developers fix it.

Yep, well again that's what Early Access and the Beta phases are for. But today, everything is EA apparently.

And what's even worse, workable even great products out the box, only to made an irreparable mess by future updates.

We just cant buy new games anymore. I just stick with older games that i know work, and will not be broken with future updates.

Between PS1 and PS2, more than a hundred games. None broke. This broke phenomena started with the internet. At least for me.

And we can freely ignore your anecdote because the history of broken games on consoles is long and storied. Games have been coming out broken since the 70's and there was NO expectation of them getting fixed at ALL until the 2000's

If it wasn't illegal then it sure isn't going to change now.

I suppose i had great luck on my games then. Not ONE broken, And i think you know me by now, that would readily admit they were.

The internet has RUINED our games

Your loss. As for me, and i suggest others, just buy older games you know are vetted, and are done with development. Or else, EA.

No crap, doing the bare minimum of vetting your purchase? The VERY basics of consumer responsibility?

And what if you do vet it, only for they to later on give it a bad update? That is why you were half right.

Research the game, KNOW it's done with development, and then make the purchase.

If it's still getting updates, it isn't being released and ignored like the OP is talking about. Try and stay on topic kiddo

The topic is stop selling broken games. There is no timeframe as to when the sold game was made to be broken. It can be at launch, It can be a year or more later.

My statement, again correct. Good day

can't "ship with a game breaking bug" if it didn't ship with that bug.

But this just goes back to your credibility as always. Shifting goal posts, blatant misinformation, and spin spin spin.

Simple fact OP. Games have been releasing with game breaking bugs since the INCEPTION of gaming. It won't be made illegal, no matter how much certain bad actors will insist it is already happening.

To make something like that illegal, it would be a legal nightmare.

Well legal or illegal, i think Xbox (on THIS i can be corrected) has a testing phase to assure games that come out on Xbox, meet the standards to do so.

I can't say it always works, and it may not work as well with updates.

But the amount of broken games on console, as compared to here on PC where there is no real vetting process, is likely why Steam may have more of these issues.

But they do have EA, and i am a proponent of it, and have had nothing but good experiences, at least thus far, being i know its.....EA.

CoD is broken every year. They aren't going to remove those games.
