Yes, yes we are.

Let me explain here, IMO we totally are. We gamers have been screwed over by many video game companies that release game on platforms like this one, Origin, Epic's, etc.

Large game companies hype games up, and under deliver, or deliver broken games ((See BF2042)) and expect to keep the money and patch it up down the line.

There was a time when all games came out not needing to be patched on release day, and we the gamers have become complacent about it.

Notice I am talking ONLY about large game companies and not small ones like the Valheim devs. I mean, I get it, I want the patch to drop as much as anyone else, but I also realize that the tiny dev team is doing things on their pace, as frustrating as it is. I have had discussions with friends about Valheim and it is usually... "I would have hired...," and after many discussions I am unsure. This was someones hobby fun project that 1 person continued with to now, which is pretty much unheard of as of late. It's a true game changer in a time of screwed up games like Battlefield, Cyberpunk which has been recognized by the dev community at the Game Developers Conference. I'm pretty sure a few CEO's are taking notice of that.

So yes, while the world in general eats digital content like termites in rotten wood, we are in the current dark ages, and I am awaiting the Renaissance.
