Actually its not a scam OP cause you can choose to wait 2 days for a game to come out before buying, or maybe even wait for a sale. Also you can return them now on steam and pretty much always could return physical games.

You know that demos exist right? You can even download demos on consoles these days! What a world we live in. Not that I play silly video games anymore. I'm not 12.

Poetic Justice posted:So, you want to test drive this car? Well, do I have an idea for you, how about you can't. You just trust us on what we say about it's performance, and we won't even let reviews let you know until it's on the lot for sale. You can trust us, this one is good. Aside from a few makes (Triumph, BMW, HD) and even then not every dealer allows test rides, this is how you buy a new motorcycle.

only retards and reviewers buy games on release day seriously if you wait a year the game will come down in price, it's the dumbest poo poo to pay full price for video gamsz. if you wait you can see what the opinion of the game is outside of the hype and decide if it's actually even worth buying or not.

Well I'm sorry to hear that you wasted a hundred dollars preordering the new batman game, OP, but that doesn't mean you should take it out on the rest of us by making a lovely thread about it.

Download a demo and chill, dude. I can even download demos on my loving Wii U, which is the laughingstock of video games, right? Demos can tell me things like "no absolutely do not purchase Sonic Lost World" which I would not have been able to determine otherwise.

both steam and origin have a refund policy if you buy a game and dont like it no it's not the only industry w/ embargoes movies do it too i'd say movies are a way worse industry tbh

I like the games that use the full power of today's modern technology to perfectly recreate playing a game that could have been made in 1990. Ask me about my VVVVVVVVVVV speedrun. Shovel Knight is unironically one of the best games of the decade, though.

Applewhite posted:Shovel Knight is unironically one of the best games of the decade, though. agreed, this plus Terraria and Rogue Legacy have entertained me more for $10 than any modern AAA DLC riddled pieces of poo poo. the real secret is that only indy developers where ever any good. all the classic games we love where made by nobodies originally. once a video game brand gets profitable and people with money start investing in it the creativity dies.

Poetic Justice posted:Is there any other market where a company asks you to spend money without being able to test or even have professional reviewers test the item they are selling? Are video games the only industry that have "review" embargoes? Lol what a scam. what about people that pre-order iPhones and camp out to get them? seems like you're complaining about unfair business practices in general but that's nothing exclusive to video games
