I'm not sure what you are trying to say with that statement. My point was that gamers tend to want to get games "now", rather than waiting, even if the game turns out to have bugs. So if a developer/publisher releases it "early", when it has bugs, one could say that they are simply giving their customers what they are asking for.
Could they not do that? Of course. But choosing not to do it doesn't invalidate my point.
Im pretty sure if you asked many people here if they would have rather waited for a more complete game, they would have been happy.
Heck, I usually buy games a few weeks after they're released anyway.
I'm only harping about evidence when you try and pass your opinion off as fact. I specifically said what "I generally see". I'm not suggesting that makes it true in general, that's merely my experience.
Quote where I have said 'Fact is..'.
No, I'm not throwing around facts. Because I'm not trying to prove a point.
Then what are you doing here?
When you state something as a fact, you need proof to back it up.
When have I stated anything as fact?
Otherwise, what you call a "fact" is merely an "opinion". There's nothing wrong with having or stating your opinion. I'm not trying to suggest you don't. Just don't pretend it's a fact.
Such as when?
Way to descend to personal attacks? Is there some reason you seem to be getting upset about this?
Calling you names is a personal attack. Saying you missed the point is an observation.
Anyway, I don't want you to reply to anything above. You are making a strawman argument. You should accept someones opinion on the internet as opinion, unless otherwise noted.
You are trying to twist this argument around into somewhere where you feel you have the high ground, but really is a strawman argument and has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
The phrase "voicing your concerns" is much too open-ended for general usage in this sense. What "happened" with RTW was a great deal of exploring of various game bugs. There was a great deal of discussion about the various game bugs. And in the end, a great many of them were fixed, to some degree.
However, all of the people saying things like "This game sucks", or "It's way too buggy", or "They totally screwed up combat", who you might say were "voicing their concerns" did little to nothing to make the game "better for everyone".

So pray tell then exactly where in the original post was 'This game sucks' implied?
Voicing your concerns that you wont accept such a poor product in a mature manner, such as this original poster has done, is a good way to send a message to developers and publishers about exactly what the community wants. If enough people did it, they'd start listening, such as they did in Total War.
And what do you know, they might actually release a satisfactory product? Fancy that.
You know what else frustrates me, when people try to twist their arguments around into something completely unrelated.
This is going to be the
THIRD attempt now that I try and get back on topic. I dont want to talk about what is fact or what is opinion, leave your twisting tactics for someone else.
I am claiming that voicing your concerns about a game in a mature manner is only constructive. I want you to talk about this, not anything else. Stop trying to lead this discussion astray.
