These days there's hardly a game released that doesn't require at least 2 patches to get it up to non-beta. Even console games need patches!
That is all fair and dandy I guess. Or not. As long as the business models can sustain me waiting for them to get their crap together. Ie. pay for their game when it is 1) discounted and 2) patched up. It must make business sense, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. Or what? If everyone else does, why not us?

Last game I played from start to end without a patch was ... was ... GTAIV for PS3. IT probably had bugs too, but you could live with them. But a PC game? Beats me. Im not sure it is at this side of the year 2000!
