or they became totally broken released games to let us beta test after paying full price.
Like others have said, we now pay to beta test or we get a horrible game at release that has to be fixed.
They became early access!

Yea, I really miss demos. I think I probably still have a stack of old Demo CDs from PC gamer sitting around somewhere.
And I think games have become so complex and complicated that it is too much work to make a demo into a playable state to release before the actual game. Hell, most games now are barely playable upon release
You hit the nail on the head, it's push this out and let's start getting the next one ready, BF4, AC Unity and watchdogs. Seems I'm just picking on ubisoft but I'm not. Any company that launchs a game thats full of bugs of feature don't work should give the gamer/ customer free DLC, ULC or a code for X amount of their next game. Let's see how many games get released not 100% working then. You get a warranty with all other stuff we buy, why not games. When I had my ps4 it was £50 per game. If you bought a toaster that only toasted the bread on sided, you'd take it back the the store.
The only way to get this situation fixed is to stop buying games on the release date, and wait for reviews. And if you bought it and it had issues on release, the game is still going to be fixed and working in a month or 2. You would have bought it then, for the same price anyways, so there isn't much loss other than you have to wait for the date the game should have been released on to play it.

Seriously I feel burned by Ubisoft. They have some great games, but I have games I can't even play. That crosses the line with me and I will ever only buy their games at $10 no matter how long that takes. By then I'll have a more polished or at least patched product for around what it is worth.
I can safely say no other publisher has made a PC games that perform as poorly and require so much work to run properly. The only way I'd go back to buying their games on release again is if they have a 24 hour return policy. I have to admit EA is forward thinking to have that policy on Origin.
I waited four months before I bought AC Unity and it's was goosed, two or tree weeks later they released the 6 Gig update. Just hold the games back, they've done that before, mind you they still got it wrong then too.
Hell I remember Quake demo CDs that you'd pick up at the store!
And probably even before that.
HA, I bought the quake demo cd and unlocked the full versions of the games from it with a key generator I found on a warez site. Of course, this was a long long time ago and I've since bought the game and its different versions.
too many companies realized that a demo can show how crappy their game is and keep people from buying it.
