That is definitely your prerogative, even though the issues you most likely refer to are IMHO being blown way out of proportion. The fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as bug-free software -- especially a simulation of this complexity and fidelity.
But, the bottom line is had everyone taken your "wait and see approach" with Sub Command, DW would have never seen the light of day. The simulation market is a dying niche and we need to support the few remaining developers and perhaps be prepared to overlook a few minor bugs if we want this genre to survive...
Heck, had I been so picky with the software I have installed on my system as you are with DW I would most likely have formatted my hard disk and binned my computer years ago. |
But what would be today's situation if people would have started to be more demanding concerning the shape of a sotware at release day mayn years ago? Companies would have adopted to that, or would have died. And that would have been very much okay with me. Industry tends to adopt to customer's demands. If customer demands better quality, different business routines would have been established. Since this demand is not there, they spare that effort and see that they can get away with less er quality and still get the full price (I have not necessarily SA on mind when writing this, but the major palyers like EA or UBI).
