I'm sick of hearing and having day-0 or day-1 patches.
Proves you brought a beta version as they are too cheap to pay beta testers to test out their software before release

It was better 20 years ago when you got a good working FULL version of a game as they did beta test back then.
Now they get free beta testing by releasing a beta version to the public and wait for everyone to post on their forums the problems and bugs so they can fix them. See, you paid to be a beta tester.
Better to wait 6 months, get it at half price and finished with the actual final patches. But you will still have to buy their beta version and download the finished patch.

STOP buying games on day 0. THATS the only way to force game devs to listen to us and actually hire real beta testers so they release a finished product and not let us be free beta testers.
Everyone hates getting a game and finding bugs all throughout it. So DONT buy it for at least a week, a month will be even better. The loss of sales will force them to finish the product and you will be a lot happier playing with a few less bugs and not feel like you were scammed into being a free beta tester which you actually paid to be instead of getting paid to be.
