That's basic relationship stuff : game studios broke player trust. It's up to them to win it back.

Now different people react differently to the break of trust. Some do react poorly to it. But I won't blame people, and I won't sympathise with studios I don't already trust.

Again, studios are just a bunch of people passionate to make cool games except for cases like The Day Before.

And sometimes they're also assholes that disrespect players. Sometimes they're too leniant and think a buggy mess is a game worth releasing. That's disrespect. Being small is not an excuse to release an alpha version.
