well i think while most will admit they werent thrilled that it took so long to bring each game up to speed with the needed patches, i think we are all looking at the fact that they did take care of most of the issues and we ended up with very good games in the end.

what would be the point in waiting except to try to catch it on sale or maybe be lucky enough to find someone who doesnt understand how to play the game and garage sales it for next to nothing. (there is always a few of these people lol)

the only possible impact that waiting could have would be to make ubi think interest in subsims is fading and they shouldnt support the genre anymore.

companies use the revenue from sales of the game help pay for the expense of doing patches and research to fix issues with the game and limited sales can only mean limited support for the game.

we all wish games werent released untill they were fully tested and fixed but thats not a reality in this world because any company trying to do this would see a competitor release a cloned version of the same game and steal the market share for it.

its just bad buisness for any company to wait to fix working games so all games are and will always be out the door in a barely finished state as long as its playable because they cant afford the risk of the game being stolen or cloned.
