Reader Discussion: How Long Do You Give A Developer To Fix A Broken Game?
It's an unfortunate truth that not ever game works as intended when it launches. Sometimes, things are patched up really quickly. Other times are SimCity.
Given the titles this year that have shipped with significant problems, we want to know from you how long your patience holds out. Do you give developers leniency, or are you ruthless? At what point does a game become a lost cause?
Let us know in the comments.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
