To contrast another post about bad standards, what's something that needs to become a standard in gaming? (alien.top)

I'll go first: playing with other people in multiplayer who are geographically close to you would be very fun.

The game being finished before it's released

I’m tired of buying unfinished, unpolished games. If I’m paying $60-$80 for a game, I expect it to be a finished product.

I do think BG3 wouldn't have been as good without EA

I miss games that didn’t update. If someone put out a buggy unfinished n64 game it would fail and the dev wouldn’t do that shit again. Imagine if we were on non updatable cartridge games in the internet age. Shit would have to be on point to be a success.

Shit, I bought Coral Island and dumped a bunch of hours in it only to find out the main quest won't be finished until next year. Fucking piece of shit devs.

Ah, I tried it out on game pass and I was wondering why it felt like an unfinished game.

You realise it’s an indie dev right

I was looking forward to that game but man, why do they have to drip feed the players?? It's so stupid, I'm not a beta tester, I want to enjoy the game.

It's really enjoyable too. I swear they must have gone to version 1.0 just to get more money from idiots like me who thought 1.0 meant it was finished, if not bug free.

I have that on game pass. It's nice but ain't worth buying it at full price now.

I've seen games for sale on steam saying they're in "pre-alpha" stage. That's not a game! Pre alpha is a concept with a box of assets.

It used to be sadly

Roadmaps are a cheap excuse to release an early access disguised as a finished game
