minus-squareTheFeatureCreature@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up142·2 months agoBuying a game post-launch: Better prices; often on sale. Fixed and patched up. Extra content often included. DRM often removed. No brainer, imo.

minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoRemember when games used to, at least sometimes… do actual internal beta testing to iron out performance bugs and such?
