From a business standpoint, what other method would you use to solve this issue without losing tons of money?

As a business, I'd keep doing it. No need to change my approach if gamers are going to continue to allow my Devs to sell games in an alpha state on launch and I can say "Hey, DAY ZeRo PaTCh incoming" or "no worries we'll have a big season summer update, no worries guys". From a business standpoint it would be absolutely silly to change.

But as a consumer, we shouldn't enable these practices and not buy and pre-order such garbage. But I'm sure you know that'll never happen, lol.

In a general sense I get what you mean, but specifically to this, does it apply though? The game was complete. This seems more like a difference in opinion regarding an art direction choice and they buckled to please day 1 fans.

Don't know if it applies specifically to this case, but I was overall responding to the person I quoted who also saw the sad state of affairs of gaming and patches in general. Or at least that's how I read it.

I am terrified of Microsoft and am always concerned about them.
Best Rain is or was in the GTA San Andreas Remaster.

Yeah, they waited too long and a generic shooter is what we got.

You guys are really boring - and I'm saying this as someone who's favourite series is RE since 97.

The original Remake was, despite it's greatness, far behind expectations in terms of sales. Mikami himself said it. The original plan was to fully Remake 1-3 for Gamecube but that plan was then scrapped later on - and as it turned it was a smart move from Capcom.

Look, I'd love to have full blown Remakes like 1 for both 2-3. But they were just not to be, period. The gameplay was already outdated back when Remake and Zero were released, which is reflected by their sales. Would they have sold significantly better if they'd released them on PS2 as well? We'll never know. We should be happy that we got the original Remake as it is.

For Remake 2 they did the best they could possibly do to make it more appealing to a broader audience while keeping some of it's original flair.

The RE1 remake failed in sales for being a Gamecube exclusive. The modern RE remakes are nothing but soulless cashgrabs.

Pure speculation. We’ll never know. I think that a drastic change would have come regardless of the limited release.
