"Standards our fans have come to expect" I've heard this line so many times by this point and it's quite laughable. Cause the standard they are speaking of, have dropped down to "something will be fked up with the game and it will make fans angry" That's the sort of standard I've come to set for pretty much every company at this point (excluding indie). If you're going to take the time to say it's "below the standard" perhaps you should just fix the problem before it's released. It's not like it was a hidden bug that showed up last minute, or something that only occurred when many people play.

“With each planned update, the games will reach the level of quality that they deserve to be.” That right there sums up the current state of gaming as a whole. Release half-assed products full of bugs, throw your hands up and start counting money from pre-orders and day one purchases, and wait to see if there’s any backlash to the poor state of the game. If the backlash is big enough to where it starts seeping into other media outside of gaming, put out a statement (only when it’s too little too late, of course, because you’re hoping the backlash will just _blow over_ soon) and then say “Ah, okay. Fine. We hear you loud and clear: we’ll fix it! Tada! See? We listen!” Rinse, repeat. The games should be already the level of quality they deserved to be upon release (or at least very close). This isn’t the first time for Rockstar, although this level of a disaster is pretty big for them, but it won’t be the last. Despite the backlash, there are people that still defend this shit all because they enjoy a game and feel the need to run defense for a triple A company thinking it’ll just “get better” not wanting to realize that it won’t. This stuff just keeps happening more and more…

I've come to believe that the core of the issue lies with preorders. People are basically giving them their money before the game is even out, so they're already making a profit regardless of the quality of the game when it ships. From the executives' perspectives, I'm sure they see it as a big win that they can save time and money by rushing a product out and still make a profit. It's going to keep happening as long as people keep preordering and these massive companies keep making a profit off of rushed broken products.

When was the last AAA game to come out complete and with rare glitches and bugs? Update: Wow holy crap so many comments. A small glimpse in what a content creator has to go through. From majority of the comments, I see 86% of the games being console exclusives. So the question switches to why does Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have a certain level of integrity that the big Publishers do not?

I feel like we're all discovering a financial and economic paradox over the past few years. Unlike banks and related institutions being classed "too big to fail" and necessitating bailouts, AAA game studios are becoming "too big to succeed" and lose their ability to make compelling games due to their size and resulting profit potential. The executives, board of directors, and shareholders all demand that these companies keep growing their size and their profits, the company loses its passion and reason for getting into the industry in the first place. They cheap out on QA and development and outsource most of the work, and then they're surprised that their low efforts and cost-saving measures produce stinking turds instead of worthwhile games. There is enough saturation in this market that we don't have to waste our time with every bowel movement AAA companies produce, and instead can play higher quality and cheaper games made by people who care. AAA gaming is heading right off a cliff if governments crack down on their increasingly psychologically exploitative monitization practices, and they'll deserve what's coming.

Or even one person spending 3 days total in all of the games??? Especially that finding issues can be done in regular gameplay you do not have to search for them or try to brake the game. Also there needs to be a contract between the studio doing the job and take2/rockstar so the conditions should be met if not someone will not get their money. Sadly it feel like a cash grab from the start, the fact they release the trailer very late, removed the original games, went after the modding community, did not release any game play speaks volumes. I also have hard time to believe that take2/rockstar where unaware that games will be ported from the code which was an already mobile port that needed a lot of compromises to run on mobile. So in my opinion (I might be wrong) they new what they are doing. I only hope that some gamers were burned by this and that it will be a lesson for the future for them (sadly I know it might not be the case).

They knew it was poor hence why they placed so many restrictions on reviews. Contrast this with 343 Industries that, despite making mistakes, have been open with previews and not trying to hide the truth from people. 3. The modding community were not robbing money from Take Two/Rockstar. They were keeping these games relevant and also implicitly supporting the idea that Rockstar care and value their fans. With copyright strikes and takedowns it just makes you appreciate that they are no different than others. 4. People will be far more cautious about buying Rockstar games in the future.

Companies don't want to pay for proper development pipelines anymore. They want to do everything as cheaply as possible and funnel as much money as possible to the top. The outcome is being shown to us again and again.

Rockstar: we are unfortunately having a hard time getting off the ground with GTA6. Take-Two interactive: so can we at least get an approximation of a release date? Rockstar: at the earliest 2027-28 or around the launch of the next generation of consoles is our best estimate. Take two: that’s not good. Rockstar: understandable but what we can do is make GTA the definitive edition as a place holder until we figure out what we are going to do with GTA6, it will sell like hotcakes! Take two: okay but we want to maximize profit while investing in the least amount of time and effort. Rockstar: how about we just port over our mobile versions of the game? Take-Two: brilliant. Let’s do it!

Executives in gaming companies think gamers are stupid and will just accept any product that just happens roll out. This is becoming such a huge industry problem. MAKE a good product - GET your consumer's respect. These very same executives need to stop milking the games companies they work for. They do the least amount of work. But that situation is all ass backwards too

Honestly, this all just amounts to the typical PR statement when a company has to go into damage control. There is no way they didn't know about the state the game was in. They just thought screw it, and pushed it out hoping fans would eat it up. Only it blew up in their face. You know you screwed up massively when EA manages to release a better remaster with the Mass Effect remasters.

1:25 What was "unexpected" was how everyone didn't roll over and accept their trash as it was released. 2:19 Don't think they even know what "sincerely" means. 3:17 I've heard that before, almost the exact same words. Was Rockstar coached by Brack, re: WoW Definitive Edition? 11:28 Uh, what about mods T2???

They can add back the OG trilogy, they can fix the Definitive Mess they've made all they want, but it still does not address my original grievances against this remaster - the fact that they *AGGRESSIVELY WENT AFTER MODDERS AND TOOK DOWN THEIR HARD WORK. FOR THIS.* I cannot in good faith support this Remaster in any way until they loosen up on modders and allow them to bring their projects back up. Right now authors of re3 and reVC are once again going up against the lawsuit, and that's the cause I'm willing to support. Until this issue is addressed once and for all, this thing, and any and all future Rockstar games, are off-limits for me.

With the level of consistency you're willing to put out of the news over these topics has definitely piqued my interest and I do suggest that you keep it up! I'm surprised not as much people don't speak about the clarity of these necessary topics nowadays because it is truly baffling to see. Glad to see you are doing this sort of niche particularly in exposing the problems with the gaming industry. You should definitely do like a mega project that gives an insider scoop on your take of the gaming industry as a whole where it was and is now and maybe give some outer context in relation such as the issues with Hollywood films nowadays. Best of luck YongYea :) and looking forward to your future content! Congrats you earned a sub!

Life tip: if you're looking for forgiveness, don't start by making obvious lies in your apology. It was totally expected. Take-Two's CEOs would have to be supremely incompetent not to know.
