That is entirely true, but it still had a kick-ass manual

In the case of F4 the dev-team was by the way disbanded pretty soon after release and before patch 1.08 was out, but as a parting gift they pushed out the patch working on their own time. Coincidentally the source-code for the game was also leaked pretty soon afterwards, allowing modding to levels we can only dream of in the SH, and pretty much any other, series of games. The F4 modding scene would be very different today without that "leak".
