Then don't buy games on release. There's no rush. I've been pretty satisfied just buying games I want on sale and have still built up quite the backlog mainly getting titles at 75%+ off. No Man's sky and subnautica were both just awesome games for me because the period where they were unfinished and disappointing was long past by the time I tried them.
And in my experience, toxicity doesn't really encourage improving something so much as it encourages stopping to care how the toxic person feels about anything at all. Sometimes that caring even goes negative and the target of the toxicity can take pleasure in how much grief they've caused the person spewing out the vitriol.
Toxicity is for burning bridges, not encouraging better behaviour.
People who have studied game theory will know that a corporation's bad behavior needs to be met with bad behavior, or they will simply keep taking advantage of consumers. Low level employees are innocent, but executives are willingly making bad decisions with the sole interest of lining their pockets.
Edit Lol I guess instead of learning basic game theory you can just downvote and continue your ignorance. Surely that won't make the problem worse.
