What ever happened to games being finished and polished when they are released?
I know in the age of digital downloads and high speed internet it allows companies to drop patches to fix bugs or balance out multiplayer games but somewhere along the line we lost our way when games are released in a barely playable state.
Enter F1 2015.
An update on EA SPORTS™ WRC.
Dear Rally Community,
Every great journey eventually finds its finish line, and today, we announce that we've reached the end of the road working on WRC.
'It marked the first time the studio had used the license in 18 years since 2022’s Colin McRae Rally 3.'
Can you not get AI to do proofreading?
Weird article written by a bot.
In any case I knew EA would ruin Codemasters.
Multiple games developed by Codemasters have been delisted on Steam just recently without any previous warning from EA.
Here’s the deal with this bullsh*t, and this is the single reason I f*cking hate digital, this wouldn’t be so much an issue if these people would give an announcement before they pull their games so people have a chance to get them before they’re gone. I mean, how hard is that to do?
Like, I prefer digital for the convenience of it and making me less of a hoarder, but stuff like this can drive me up the wall and I’m aware this also happens with physical games, but you can still acquire a game from eBay, though all scalped to hell, whereas digital you’re SOL… unless you have a PC.
Not to mention they also replace old base games with "bundles" back at full price. Some of the old and shittiest COD games are still full price on digital stores.
yup everything you said is correct, but with digital you can also acquire it lol thanks to piracy, thats what made me a pirate . Spec ops the line got delisted last year and I just pirated it and never looked back, unfortunately these bigger publishers dont care about older games so dont even give a reminder, so if they dont even care about their own older games, why should I help them with their new games, ill pirate those as well. GOG is the best, you dont even need to pirate those, the games literally dont have any drm, and you can keep the files permanently too.
the reason why i hate digital is because in 20 years when the servers go down, you can't play single player games anymore because shitty fucking companies want you to login to some arbitrary service to pad the numbers.
When a company like GoG does better than a titan like Sony, you know how terrible the state of gaming is.
Technically you are not wrong, only forgot to add Rights Management after the "digital".
These games had exactly 0 players. If you haven't played any of them by now you really didn't care in the slightest. Suddenly you're dying to play one of these classic turds? Sail to cs.rin.ru.

i mean .. i hate this practise. atleast give people like a 2 months headsup.
idiots
The F1 24 announcement seems imminent, as the Champions Edition cover and details have surfaced in F1 23's game files after the latest patch.
To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.
Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.
So troubling that this is rapidly becoming the norm. It feels like the AAA video game industry is on a trajectory to implosion.
X86 made things better,easier development XD.
*Smacking those complaining about CBE with a trout*
Like I keep saying..stop pre ordering and only buy the game when it's known to be in the state it should be in to deem it worth your money and enjoyable. If everyone done this they would be forced to actually finish the game before release or they get limited sales. Done! Will people listen...No!
They have plenty of time and money to get these, so they need to get them done. Don't promise flashy pre-order bonuses when the main game doesn't work.
Fingers crossed for Fallout 4 >.<
