I will never understand this feature of consumer gamer culture
Why does every game have to be a Forever Game with content patches or new DLCs or whatever
What's so awful about a game you buy, play to conclusion, and then maybe replay or mod if you feel like it
Why must every game on the market be potentially The Last Game You'll Ever Need To Play, or it's not worth buying

I eat my words on "I will never understand"!

@packbat brought some insight, pointing out there's a distinct experience being in the conversation about a still-growing game. Similar to participating in the fandom of a TV show or book series as new installments come out -- the energy of anticipating a new release, and joining your friends in playing it right when it comes out, is hard to replicate if the game is complete.

I still think it's unfair to bad-review for that, but! I get it now.
