I was always at war with this kind of forgiveness for publishers rushing their games out in a broken condition and then expecting people to hope that what they already payed full price for eventually get fixed in the future (or not). With no other product category people buy this would be accepted.
If anything, the publisher deserves a spanking for having it released too early, obviously. forgiving it and being tame on them just encourages them to show this policy again with future relases (for they see they get away with it, and don't we see this behavior all too often with game releases, since years?).
I don't like to react to desasters. It's much better to plan and safeguarding against them in advance. we would have a better general game software quality standard in new releases today, if customers would be less forgiving.
