Everyone, including ubi and the SH4 dev's, should take note of how a truly professional development team goes about things.
Case in point, World of Warcraft. When Blizzard was hashing out the bugs, they held a closed beta.
Inviting people to come play the game, so that real time debugging could happen, thus making a much more polished and stable gold release.
WoW is wildly popular and basically sets the standard for MMORPG's.
SH4 has, conversely, set new lows by suckering unsuspecting SH3 fans.
Through slick marketing and what can only be described as propagandist/apologists on forums that will go unnamed.
Thus, we pay cold hard cash to play SH4 (term used loosely) as beta testers.
Im betting ubi will move down the same path V1vend1 did with the whole HL2 debacle. Arrogance, ignorance, and utmost contempt for the end user...now staring down the business end of a bankrupcy.
Couldnt happen to a nicer bunch of guys, say I.
