Sad that we went to unfinished games by moneydevouring publishers and all its errors that come along with that (overworked staff, bad salaries every here and there).

When did we leave the path that finished games should be released around the clock?

When people kept pre-ordering and purchasing unfinished games. If it wasn't profitable they wouldn't do it.

Basically, capitalism can be traced back as the reason for most decisions corporations make. Although the fact people will complain and do it anyway is something else.
