Bad launch is giving then the benefit of the doubt which they don't deserve. They intentionally launched an incomplete game so they could make the money now and look good for investors, and then just fix it post launch while also giving out 'free' updates that should have just been all there on launch.

Mind you I'm not complaining about the actual developers, it's always the executives who are to blame when this happens.

People need to vote with their wallets, if they stopped pre ordering and buying buggy messes at launch companies would be incentivised to actually release fully working/fully developed games.

Also the whole background of how the devs and play testers were treated is horrendous.
