Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

"We need to simplify" indie games are doing just fine. It's almost like super massive studios take much more money to make games with less replay value.

And who expects cinematic masterpieces? Most gamers skip the cutscenes and all dialog lol

Studios make the games pretty for pre sale hype. Getting people interested without game play.

yeah agreed on this point, I dont think most people do this (unless replaying for the nth time)

Sure, on the 2nd replay.

Yeah, "most" seems strong now, but there is enough discourse online to say it isn't uncommon.
