I remember I saw a funny comic on Penny Arcade. Gabe paid for a game, and Tycho walks in and asks him hows it going with the new game he had waited so long for.
Gabe says something like "Yeah I installed the game". Tycho then asks "Ok, so why are you starting at a blank screen?" Gabe says "Game cant be started till the first patch is released."
I can only imagine how many people are out there, wanting to play SH4, but quietly waiting till the game gets patched into playability.
Not a good business model, so lets hope ubi learns it lesson from all this.
