I agree with the statments below:
I purchased SH2 and Destroyer command based on the developers telling us that they could be played together over the internet. That never really happened. I swore that I would not buy anymore Ubisoft games after that.
I like to read about all the flaws in the computer games and thank my stars that I didn't buy anohter game that didn't work and was full of bugs.
No other industry can make products full of faults like the computer gaming industry.
The laws need to be changed to make computer programmers responsible Financially for their bugs and non working programs. If they want to make programs that cost money they should be reponsible for their products and if they don't work they should pay back any money they charged for said program
Change the laws to my way of thinking and you won't have as many buggy programs.
Doctors have to be responsible for their actions and do teachers and other professionals. They can't say that it's not their fault that the medical treatment they provided comes without any warranty implied.
I say it's high time to make the programming industry stand behind their programs.
We should not have to wait years for patches to fix programs that are not ready to go on sale.

I find it hard to believe people aren't complaining about the AI. To me, it is abysmal.
I remember seeing some threads about the state of the game, and the suggestion that the developers were "forced" to release the game when they knew it wasn't finished (although they signed the contract, so they agreed to the date in the first place, so they should have known what was possible....but that's another topic). I bring this up because the post I'm thinking of in particular suggested that the devs knew what they wanted to do but weren't able to do it. As far as I'm concerned, they should just finish it as planned. If that takes another 1, 2 or 5 patches I don't much care. I simply don't play it as it is - I find SHIII far superior in every respect that matters to me. Nor would I buy another SH game at shelf price, given SH2 and SH4 were pretty woeful as released (fool me once, shame on you....fool me twice, shame on me...and I've been fooled twice, so no way will I do so again).
