Damn, with that kind of math, it almost doesn't seem worth investing the time and effort to ensure that the product works well!

I hope people who think like that are happy with their buggy-as-shit computer games on release day. Because they deserve to be.

EA, Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard, etc all release broken shit and rake in millions and millions. I don't know what you think your point is. The vast majority of the market responds by whining on social media and then giving you 80$, plus whatever you ask for for literally new textures.

Just look at No man's Sky and Cyberpunk! They basically advertised games that didn't even exist, released something basically unrelated, and now the market rates their products highly positive and earnest people will tell you to give them more money!
