Dear Fastfed,

What do you understand after reading the comments so far?I tell you what i understand (and i think what game companies understand):

No matter how much you rush a game,no matter how many the bugs,it's ok!Because people are so used to them now,that they have learnt to accept paying for a product ,that if it was ANYTHING ELSE than a PC game,they would ask their money back.Of course you can't do that with PC games ,because of the law of the jungle that exists in this sector.

I hear ya!I had a Commodore too.Ah,the old times,where "patch" was an unknown word...(yes,much simpler games,yet companies were much smaller too,relying on a very small market,but respecting the customer,probably exactly because the customer was precious).

Human is a creature driven by habbits.Make him used to a situation and he will never complain again.They could even sell unfinished books and you would see that people would still buy them ,waiting for the author to release the final chapter as "patch".

Why would a company respect the customer,when the customer doesn't respect himself?Ubi only watches the cash flow.As long as it's at expected levels,there is nothing wrong with releasing half finished games.And the majority of people have no problem with it!It has become a competition of who has played the buggiest game!LOL!How insane can that be? :rotfl: When SH 5 will come out full of bugs,people will be saying "Remember how awful SH4 was?So get over it!" LOL! It's amazing how much a person can take and even pay for it!

I agree with you,put the game aside and wait some months.I was so tired with SH3 and waiting for the patches that by the time 1.4b came out,i was so bored that i wouldn't play anymore.Only GWX made me return.

So better wait and play the "FULL" game,after all the patches come out.

Cheers
