Should devs tell people about launch bugs in advance? “It’s an interesting problem” says Starfield and Skyrim designer

If there are non-breaking bugs I’m OK with that listed in release notes, but other than that I completely agree with you. Too often there are major issues at release, especially with Bethesda.

Just delay the release and finish the game. I’m not paying to be a beta tester. I want the game-breaking AND immersion-breaking AND fps-reducing bugs fixed before launch. Games are expensive and while I don’t think that’s a bad thing, there’s still a bar I expect it to pass before it feels like a good value.
