First, I bought SH1-IV, enjoyed them all. The problem with this is not the fact that it is only a "game", it is that we paid good money(I have kids, it's good money) for a product that is not complete regardless of the reason. This is becoming far too common among developers lately. I do not expect a bugless game, that is virtually impossible, but the way this game was released with the manual not matching the game and many features either broken or not functional is not acceptable. A class action lawsuit may actually give some of the bean counters a wake up call, and if your worried about the SH franchise, I would not buy another Ubi/SH game if it is going to be like this again. I do not, however, believe that a lawsuit would achieve anything here. The big companies like FakeAtari/ EA/Ubi obviously are oblivious to anything other than the bottomline, which means SHIV is probably done. Many people say "whiner", or its only a game, but it is the principle of it. They(UBI) need to fix atleast the main issue Neal brought up and that should bring SHIV upto SHIII 1.4b level. Although it should not be left to modders to "fix" a game, only enhance or upgrade as GWX and the like have done.
