If releasing broken games wasn't profitable, then it wouldn't happen. The vast majority of people don't read reviews or keep up with scummy industry practices etc.
A cousin of mine bought sonic boom on release and was super happy with it. They never finished it or were aware of the controversy whatsoever.
Fair enough I guess. Still just... Frustrated.
Absolutely. Companies/publishers/etc. are rewarded for putting out the bare minimum because they can still get a "the most profitable game we've released". At a certain point the "brand" essentially becomes a money printer.
