They don't always do definitive editions, so should I just wait forever and never get it? Also, waiting and getting the definitive edition still tells them it sells. They don't see why, they just see it selling. And if everyone just waits for the definitive edition, not buying the OG, they just view that as people not being interested in the game at all, so they quit making anything.

Edit: And I specifically mentioned pre-ordering because your thought process is the same as when it comes to pre-orders: if you don't pre-order they'll stop releasing unfinished garbage. That does not work here.

This is not a binary. "If they do not release a definitive edition, I can never buy it" is not a true statement. Show the company that you're not going to get it right away and convince others to do the same.

they just view that as people not being interested in the game at all, so they quit making anything.

I have never seen this happen with a popular IP. People complaining on social media would also probably be a decent enough way for someone at the company to know as around release, companies will definitely be checking.
