9 Ways The Gaming Industry Is Currently Trolling All Of Us

4. Unfinished/Broken Games

The popular images of Assassin's Creed: Unity's Arno, face all absent except for piercing eyes and full set of visible teeth and gums, is one that will haunt my gaming mind for the rest of my days. Just look at the thing! Imagine being one of the poor souls who encountered it unexpectedly in the middle of their game. I shudder at the thought. And while I have already bemoaned the growth of painful delays affecting so many video game releases, the alternative of rushing them out as fault or broken products is too extreme an alternative. There seems to be no end of buggy or defective games hitting the market at their initial release, and having to download large patches to fix them is a true annoyance.

The happy medium between rushing a broken game out or delaying it year after year does exist somewhere, but it's a problem that so few developers seem to be able to get right!
