Mate, if you're paying 50$ and have a really good PC, the base level competency should atleast be that the game runs. Let alone the quality or content.

Stop excusing the inexcusable.

I'm paying 3.5 USD to play this game. So my standards might be lower than those who had paid the full price for this game.

Yeah but that doesn't make the criticisms invalid?

That doesn't make the criticisms invalid. But, there's always an option to vote with your wallet by treating this release as an early access and not buying it with the current condition and with full price.

Most people lambasting the game makes it seem that they HAVE to buy the game with the current condition no matter what. Just file this game as a play in Game Pass or buy it next year when there's a sale. If more people skip from buying the game at full price the devs will get the message and will try to release the game when the game is ready to be released like Larian.

I actually do this by buying recent Larian games (D:OS, D:OS2, & BG3) at day one or close to it after the review embargo is lifted (to see whether it's worth buying or not) to reward them releasing their games in a complete state. Even BG3 had some issues with performance and cut content with their 3rd act.

I actually got a refund for it. I usually do as you said for most games but the goodwill of Paradox and the excitement for CS2 got the better of me.
