I have a feeling that the comment was referring to the quality of the game. All the sales figures show is how well the marketing did at pulling a fast one and presenting what turns out to be a bunch of half finished ideas stitched together at last minute as a finished, triple A product. The fact that so many "consumers" these days rush to defend companies that treat them with contempt by their actions, yet claim to be their best pal through PR bullshit is the reason it will keep happening. By banging on about the sales figures you are reminding everyone of just how much of a scam has been pulled here by the management. It's not good.
Again with the "hype" and "missing features" rant so what?
If the dev's had not said a thing there would still be a subset of people who would be complaining.
So the game has a 83 /72 metcritic rating instead of 93/94 like W3 that's not a HUGE gap.
Also in my view to quote myself i
"Also from my personal observations Although it does happen in north America to a certain extent It seems that in the
Non-North America side of the world some people like to champion the "Karen" aspect of "consumer rights" to a absurd extreme and expect everything to turn out to be a 10/10 game. (W3 has a 9.4 user score) when in reality not everything comes out perfect or as planned."
This nothing to do with "defending" anything.
Its a $60 videogame not the end of the world so its not a 10 I personally gave it 6.5 so it didn't come out as planned I and others that have posted still fun it enjoyable and worth the $60
The people saying "the community got scammed" is not correct in this case as that is a subjective statement
I personally did not get scammed.
I also have no sympathy for people who " have the subjective opinion they got scammed"
I disagree with blaming the devs for that in this case.
It was their choice to preorder if they cant handle the outcomes of the risk and the fact it may not turn out as planed like it did this time then they should never pre -order anything or donate to any kick starters.
here is my personal view
Again this is not the fault of CDPR but a failure of the person in your example.
it all falls to
Due diligence
Due diligence is the investigation or exercise of care that a reasonable business or person is normally expected to take before entering into an agreement or contract with another party or an act with a certain standard of care.
and example of that is.
1. if they pre- order under those examples that and are unhappy was their fault this has nothing to do with "supporting the devs" or "trusting them "
2 if they bought it day one and were not happy again their fault
3. If it was that important to them to be good they should have waited a week or 2 and read the reviews watch some gameplay to be certain they would be worth their money. yes it would spoil part of the game for them in in your example its the safer router than taking a risk and playing it blind.
If i had been that person in your example I would not have spend a penny until I was 100% sure the product was for me . This approach would also have prevent being mislead by any of the marketing.
