Games have been commercial products for most of the medium’s existence, and it stands to reason the production of these things isn’t always entirely based on a business’s desire to make really good games. There have been countless cases over the years of games being pushed to release earlier than they should or promised content not making the cut for the final build of the game or games promising things they simply never deliver on, but as the times have changed, so has gaming and so have the ways in which games can be manipulated and influenced by greed.
