The issue I have with it is that it promotes either: Laziness or Greediness in the industry. I wish more companies would delay if they needed more time to finish the game as opposed to ship it out incomplete or as a hot mess with the promise of fixing it later. Or, the worst case scenario, sell us the rest of the content as DLC.

It isn't cute to try candy coat what it literally is. It's a literal "**** it, ship it, we'll finish later." Whatever 'later' means. Days? Weeks? Months? A year? And you paid full price. It might not even GET finished.

We shouldn't be paying full price for games that aren't completed. However, there is a difference between a completed game that receives DLC later than a game that's incomplete and gets content trickled out (For free or for a cost) that was supposed to be there day 1.

To play devil's advocate here, A Lot of the games people are complaining about with this situation like specifically Mario Golf the stuff being added are bonuses and not fundamental changes. Delaying a game for a single extra stage or a single extra character would hurt potential sales and just generally be counter productive.

There is a massive difference between large chunks of the game being left out and just one or 2 stages
