That&#x27;s quite possibly true now, though I&#x27;d argue that is largely because game publishers killed the goose that laid the golden egg by shipping tons of totally broken games and ruining the idea of pre-ordering. Likewise I think that process could be reversed by showing fans that the company brass actually gives a damn about their product enough to delay it when it needs more time.<p>Nintendo is a fantastic example of this, I would say this happens to a good chunk of their titles, Zelda especially. Yes it&#x27;s always a bummer, but Nintendo also hasn&#x27;t had an Arkham City or a Division where the game comes out half finished, full of bugs, with the promise of &quot;we&#x27;ll patch it later.&quot;
