1) S3D is free. Also, I personally have never experienced a bug in it (probably because I've only done simple things with it).

2) Mods are also free, and I don't use mods that seem to cause more bugs than they fix.

3) I am not waiting for SH5 to be $10, I'm waiting for it to be bug-free (or close enough for my tastes). At that point I'd happily pay the full price for it, a year (or whatever) after it's release. Of course by that time the price will be much lower but my point is that the price isn't the issue for me; I'm not being "cheap" I just want it to work.
It wasn't personally directed

Bugfree software is an utopia. I understand why 'we' as customers want a bugfree product but this simply will never happen. The point is, the budgets that are available for this type of game will only diminish or be scraped completely if all of us think this way... If you (generalizing again) are a sim-diehard, you should buy it asap even if you don't wish to play it immediately. I don't even consider myself a diehard because I will just play the game with all noob-settings and be done with it after one month, but I still enjoy the type of game and want to play the newest version again 2 years from now...

Basic economics, no demand, no offer. I won't hold it against you if you don't, but I'm just whispering in your ear: 'BUY IT!'

Oh and WEBSTER, don't forget torrents in your figures... i'd say that's more than 5%.
