Yet another game whose Steam review score has tanked due to terrible performance issues. But at least it’s forcing their hand to actually do what they should have done pre-release, instead of rushing the release for the holidays. It’s a shame it has to be done like this, but apparently devs/publishers never learn that, surprisingly, PC gamers don’t like their games running like dogshit.
At one point this industry may realize their paying customers are no more okay with unfinished, unoptimized and sometimes completely broken messes with full AAA price tag…
Steam refunds are the best weapon for customers nowadays. I don’t buy games at full price anymore ( the cheaper, the better ). The gaming industry really prepares itself for some massive crash at some point. Public trust is at its lowest.
