Over the last 10 years i lost all tolerance for unfinished games. Up until 2012/2013 the industry made games that were like 90% finished. Some small DLC over the first couple months and some patches but in essence the game was done. Maybe an expansion a year later. But the industry has shifted more and more to 'minimum viable product' system where they release a broken and half finished game and spend the next X years fixing it.
I'm the kind of guy that picks up a game, plays it all the way through once(or twice if it significantly branches/expands in a ng+ mode) and move on to the next. I don't replay games, i just don't. I don't rewatch movies or TV shows either. I expect the game to be the best it ever can be when i buy it. The games that i like are so insanely rare that i can either play it as it comes out or play nothing at all. Pic related.
I don't like Souls games or any form of ongoing/live service game. My perfect games are story driven and character focused singleplayer games (RPGs) with a grounded story, edgy tone and third person shooter or sword fighting combat.
But all the companies that used to make games for simply stopped. Ubisoft is in the shitter, Eidos Montreal is gone, Crystal Dynamics are off in lalaland, Bethesda takes a decade to make a game, Capcom is extremely hit and miss, Bioware hasn't made a good game in like 13 years.
And indies aren't any better. They keep their games in early access forever because they plan to never stop working on them. They all got the feature creep bug.

Ever since i started having a decent amount of disposable income Steam sales have lost all meaning to me. The games that i like are already so few and far between that i just buy them when they come out and i have literally nothing that i want to play that is already on the market.
