So Cyberpunk 2077

This is why you always wait a few months after release to pick up AAA games.

It's also a reason to give AAA games a miss altogether. I don't want to sound like a typical Portland hipster here, but AAA studios are highly overrated. Indie studios like Supergiant Games, Team Cherry, Klei, and Unknown Worlds (to name a few) are putting out some awesome games too, usually at lower cost and higher quality.

I wait a year or so, when it goes into the clearance bin

Too late

Too late

My point stands.

The game is apparently a glitch fest on older consoles and some PC setups.

I got lucky apparently (Nvidia card/Ryzen) on my modest PC - no bugs in sight. Still, there will be more patches, so everyone will get to play eventually.

And it's the same thing that gets told every time there's a fall on your face release from any of the big name publishers.

I've only had the game crash on me twice so far, and other than some lag it's been fine. I've been having fun so far, I'm playing on my xbox one.

Pretty much the same experience on PS4. Yes, the crashes are annoying, but the game autosaves every few minutes so I haven't lost significant progress.

I'll wait a few months till more bugs are fixed... and then I have to see if my pc can even run the thing. It is a heavy game. I am eager to play it though.

Imagine that: a highly-anticipated release turns out to be glitchy, unstable, and incomplete, and people complain about it.

So wouldn't the best solution be to insist on better releases from big name publishers?

It's not too much to ask. Other studios do it, with fewer people, shorter schedules, and smaller budgets.
