Meaning, can there be a way the industry standard is forced to meet a minimum requirement before release? Or is this just something we all have to accept and theres nothing we can do but hope we buy a good game on release day?

In the old days before patches were a thing developers were forced to iron out the kinks because there were no do-overs, where now they can just shit out a pre-alpha and deal with it later.

How do you determine what is and us not a complete game?

Were Pokmon Blue/Red unfinished games because Yellow came out?

Was Street Fighter 2 incomplete because Super Street Fighter 2 came out?

I'd say the baseline for a finished game is having all previously advertised features (unless they were scrapped during development) and being mostly polished.

Which is why there were never bugs or cut content in old games

Buy it several months later, when it's $20 and the patches have matured in the meantime.

We have the money. Don't use the money on games that are shit.
