Abandon the FOMO completely. I do not reward shitty behavior. Destiny 2's launch was the end of that. Let other people pay top dollar to playtest it and work all the wrinkles out. Let all the DLC come out and the game GOTY edition if it's that good. Let others buy that. THEN, when they are going to launch the sequel, all of that pap will be sold at basement-level prices. Maybe wait a bit longer if it was really popular.
I'm playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 right now. ;-)
While you're overall right, DOS 2 is a terrible exemple for that.
Some of us learned with Destiny 1 and it saddens me they got so many more ~~victims~~ customers with Destiny 2
I got that lesson with call of duty ghost and assassin's creed 3 back in 2013. I was extremely hyped for the games and they both ended up sucking.
After that I will just buy a game after it's been out for a couple months
Meh AC3 was a complete game you didn’t enjoy (valid reason not to pre-order still!) so I’d say it’s less flagrant than destiny et al which nickel and dime you as they manufacture FOMO. Bungie’s list of sins is much longer lol
