>>36224864It is a deflection.
There's a reason a couple of the games the company I work for has put out flopped and it wasn't because they were doing what players wanted.
They could have taken the time they just rushed those out and had several issues which pushed people away early on which led to less players and thus funding which led to less devs being paid to work on it, which led to less content, which led to less players and so on until the vicious circle saw them inhabiting the drain area.
The same is true here. If you release a broken, rushed, contentless void of a product you push people away. Games like Pokémon are basically running on name only, not what they actually provide. That needs to change.
If you can't agree with anything else, you have to realize it's good that BotW took like 5 years to develop. did it still have issues? Yes. But in general if you like the series, it was worth the fucking wait.
When was the last time you felt that about Pokémon or any call of shooty type game?
