Yes, Elanaiba asked for the functions of developer and publisher not to be separated, and if, to speak of Ubi as unity. But of course both a separate functions, and managment won't really start programming and developer won't get into strategic market development. But after all, blaming anyone doesn't solve problems.

Right. This trend has saved me many bucks in the past 5-8 years. Since graphics quality has become sufficient for me and changes rather little, I can wait a year or two after release of a title to get it from the bargain bin. It will still look shiny and new to me, as far as I care. I mostly pick titles with great depth and modding capabilities such as ARMA2, SHIII, or WITP, which keep me tied down for many years. This gives a lot of staying power to wait until new titles are well reviewed, patched properly (into the state that they should have had on release) and I can gather from the internet that core features have really been enhanced.
