Do you think you would get the same buggy mess if every single publisher had 30% more budget to work with?

Yes, 1000%.

Games are buggy because developers/publishers/players don't care. Money has nothing to do with it and if they had more money, they would just pocket it and release garbage for people like you.

    Money has nothing to do with it

    While I agree with everything else, I think it's the opposite of this, money has everything to do with it. If people stopped preordering and buying day 1 every AAA game, they would rethink their strategy, but since money keeps coming the don't need to change much.

    We are the problem

    I absolutely agree. Customers are just endorphin (dopamine?) riddled animals waiting for the next opportunity for expenditure to drop.

    I'm not even joking, this is the problem with pretty much everything. If we could pace ourselves, the world would look very different, but we just can't stop consuming. I have colleagues who kill boredom with shopping.
