I've found if a game has performance issues at launch it's not going to get better later on, maybe slightly, but generally it's an issue that won't get fixed.

    Not in my experience. I typically don't buy AAA titles, but more smaller or indie games. If they got performance issues at launch, and there are no crashes or they were fixed, performance is the next issue getting tackled.

    Also these days there's really no excuse for buying and keeping games that aren't playable for you. There's zero reason to pre-order anyway, so just watch reviews when they release. Or test the game yourself and just refund in the refund window if it doesn't run properly. Check back after a few months (or years, depending on patience and/or size of backlog).

    I my experience, games with performance issues at launch end up not having performance issues after about a year, but everyone has already forgotten it because of the performance issues at launch.
