How about we focus less on those and focus more on just making games that aren't so fucking greedy? That's my biggest concern with the industry. Everything's broken, rushed, unfinished, yet given a $100+ price tag. Game's literally unplayable, but hey at least the microtransaction shop works perfectly on day one. And stop with the microtransactions and battle passes, I'm not playing this game for free damn it!
This might be an unpopular opinion, because I know a few who disagree with me, but I'm so fucking sick of "they'll patch it later". When a game comes out unplayable, while most companies do sometimes fix them later, you're still at the mercy of the company, and there's no guarantee that they'll do it. In court, if you tried to sue, they could argue that you bought the product "as-is" and they technically don't have to do shit.
Whatever fucking happened to releasing the game practically fully-finished and as functional as advertised? Companies are so eager to get games out the door that they don't care about quality control. I'm tired of games that don't work on release. Meanwhile all my N64, Xbox, Xbox 360, and PS3 games all work almost perfectly fine even when running them without their day one patches and stuff. They didn't release their games back then in such a shitty state, and that was amazing. Sure there's maybe a minor bug here or there but that's usually it. Whereas today, games have either constant game-breaking issues or they have a shit-ton of smaller bugs that add up to be a bigger deal as a whole.
When it comes to players of AAA games, I swear you can't disappoint them no matter what. They might complain about the game, but who cares, it's not like they won't just simply pre-order the ultra-deluxe edition of the company's next game. People need to start voting with their wallets but nobody does. One time a game was released in an unplayable state, I knew it was going to be because all their other games have been like that. I asked politely and in a civil manner why people keep buying these games when they release in such a poor state and I got called a "retarded fucknut" by the community who told me these games are the best games ever made and I'm just an idiot. The fact people genuinely think that disgusts me, that people feel a need to defend these terrible practices.
