I can't be the only person frustrated by this?
Buy a game now. Before it's finished. Which, as we're pulling money in without delivering a product, won't be for bloody ages, if ever. Pay more and get more game, and a t-shirt. Or something. In the mean time you can alpha test it and be bored of it before its even fully made.
And on the other side of the economic spectrum, games that are written to be released unfinished so they can sell the rest of it at a 500% mark-up as DLC (I'm looking at you EA).
It seems games that are released actually finished are increasingly rare.
Also, pre-purchase bonuses; aka, buy on hype + fear of missing out on some inconsequential in game trinket, before demos, reviews or lets plays (or anything like them), so you can't change your mind.
Maybe its just me. Is there some huge gain to all this that I'm currently unaware of?
