Considering all the consumer has to go on is what the packaging and marketing the ppl selling the product put out, id say yes they do. Surely, profit-driven propaganda would NEVER try to distort the facts about the product! Ppl have been fucked time and time again, not suprising some feel full price for todays atari et games are not worth it, so how would a consumer tell what the game consists of if they cant test it beforehand? Stores dont have full games to test instore like they used to. The buy first, ask questions later mentality you and a few others share is contributing to the declining quality of games. 3. Youre right! Why would anyone think that? Things like getting fitted for an expensive ring? Or trying on clothing or a pair of shoes? Maybe checking produce for freshness? Not on planet russman!
