I think that expecting no day 1 patches is kind of unreasonable. More specifically for PC games at least. It's really not the end of the world if they have to fix a few bugs in the first couple of days. It's the companies that don't fix broken content for weeks or even months+ that are problematic. It's not like back in the day where they could ship a game out and know exactly what equipment people are gonna have. People are playing Skyrim on toasters ffs no company is gonna get it exactly right for everyone at launch. I'm pretty forgiving for the most part as long as they communicate and make it up to the players when appropriate. I have considerably less patience for bigger companies that release dumpster fires or incomplete games on purpose. They can rot.
