Preorders Are Killing Video Games
引用自 B-Man
As a seasoned gamer with a deep passion for video games, I want nothing more than for the industry to thrive, but when I see my beloved hobby threatened by modern commercial practices that prioritize profit over quality, I feel compelled to speak out and defend it. Preordering video games may seem enticing with promises of exclusive bonuses or early access, but it’s a risky practice that often benefits publishers more than players. By securing sales before a game’s release, preorders encourage studios to rush development, frequently resulting in unfinished or buggy products that rely on post-launch patches or DLCs to feel complete. This trend undermines quality, leaving players with disappointing experiences and limited refund options. Below, i outline five compelling reasons to avoid preordering, followed by examples of major disappointments in modern gaming.

Top 5 Reasons to Avoid Preordering :

1.Uncertain Quality: Preordering commits you to a game without reviews or player feedback, risking disappointment if the gameplay, story, or execution fails to meet expectations.

2.Launch Issues and Bugs: Many games launch with technical issues like crashes, glitches, or poor optimization, frustrating early adopters who expect a polished experience.

3.Incomplete Content: Some titles release with missing features, cut content, or reliance on future updates, leaving preorderers with an incomplete product.

4.Limited Refund Options: Strict refund policies on many platforms and retailers make it difficult to recover your money if the game underdelivers. :happypug:

5.Overhyped Marketing: Publishers use polished trailers and lofty promises to drive preorders, but the final product often fails to match the hype, misleading fans.

How Preorders Encourage Unfinished Games

Preorders guarantee revenue upfront, reducing the pressure on studios to deliver a fully polished game at launch. With sales secured, developers may rush development, cut corners, or release games with known issues, relying on patches or DLCs to address problems later. This cycle results in subpar experiences for preorderers while studios face less accountability for quality at launch, effectively diminishing the potential for games to launch as complete, high-quality experiences.

9 Major Disappointments in Modern Video Games

1.Battlefield 2042 (2021): Hyped as a next-gen evolution of the Battlefield series, it launched with severe bugs, missing features (like a scoreboard or voice chat), poor performance, and unbalanced gameplay. Fans criticized its departure from the series’ core strengths, leading to a steep player drop-off.

2.Monster Hunter Wilds (PC, 2025): Despite praise for its combat and visuals, the PC version disappointed with performance issues, including low frame rates, low-resolution textures, and pop-in, earning “Overwhelmingly Negative” recent Steam reviews. Players felt Capcom rushed the release, with lackluster endgame content.

3.Killing Floor 3 (2025): Marketed as a thrilling co-op shooter, it launched with performance issues, limited content (only five waves and three bosses), and a live-service shift with battle passes, alienating fans. It felt like a downgrade from Killing Floor 2.

4.Payday 3 (2023): Promoted as a slick heist shooter, it launched with a grindy progression system, always-online requirements, and a serious tone that lacked Payday 2’s charm, disappointing fans with technical issues and a shallow experience.

5.Cyberpunk 2077 (2020): Promised as a groundbreaking RPG, it launched with crippling bugs, performance issues (especially on consoles), and missing features, leading to its temporary removal from the PlayStation Store.

6.No Man’s Sky (2016): Hyped as a vast, multiplayer universe, it delivered repetitive gameplay and missing features at launch. Updates later improved it, but preorderers felt misled.

7.Anthem (2019): Marketed as a revolutionary looter-shooter, it launched with repetitive missions, a weak story, technical issues, and no meaningful endgame, leading to its abandonment.

8.Fallout 76 (2018): Bethesda’s multiplayer Fallout debuted with severe bugs, unstable servers, and a lack of engaging content, disappointing fans expecting a polished experience.

9.Star Wars Battlefront II (2017): Despite high anticipation, its launch was marred by a predatory loot box system, unbalanced gameplay, and limited content, sparking significant backlash.

Conclusion :

Preordering fuels a cycle where studios prioritize sales over quality, often releasing unfinished or problematic games like Battlefield 2042, Monster Hunter Wilds (PC), Killing Floor 3, and Payday 3. This trend undermines the potential for polished game launches. By waiting for reviews and player feedback, you can make informed purchasing decisions, avoid wasting money, and encourage developers to deliver complete, high-quality experiences. Let games prove their worth before you buy! Vote with your wallet and help make PC video games great again!

I saw many complaining that the major mods like Ultimate Apocalypse and Unification won't be working for a week or two. I combined them and other race mods into one mod and got them working. I can't release this on ModDB.
