An excellent factual post Chiller.
I can only comment that games shouldn't be released with major bugs (excluding the odd compatibility issue). I know and understand the reasons why they do but this doesn't make it OK.
The industry as a whole needs to work out how to avoid this problem. The computer games industry is not the ONLY industry to have problems like this but it is one of the few industries to actually allow a products to hit the market knowing that they just aren't finished.
While ever the status quo continues people will complain and I personally can't really blame them.
