Yep. A lot of people don't realize that games are not bad because of the developers but rather because of leadership. They incorrectly attribute the blame to developers and think developers want to build shitty games or something.
I don't know why everyone is acting surprised, it's been this way for a while now. Pre-ordering any game is just paying early so you can be a dev-tester. I can't think of a major release in video games that hasn't been a buggy mess on release. I was fool with No Man's Sky, and I won't be fooled again. My plan is to just wait a few months until the second patch, same thing I do for all new releases and they're usually discounted a bit by then too.
