SE hyped up launch and it failed hard. Now all these people are out 2k~$ on rig for a game that sucks. I spent that much on a new PC too but I use it for other stuff as well so it wasn't a huge loss for me.
Anyone that expected this game to be the new XI has only themselves to blame. SE has made it very clear since well before the release of this game that it was never, EVER, intended to be an XI-2 in any way, shape, form, or capacity. In addition, people that upgrade their computers just to play a game need to rebalance their priorities. We can blame SE for not releasing a quality game, but we cannot blame SE for our own bad decisions.
