But when you start beta testing and think when startting out "we can release in 2 months" what will still be acceptable ? A delay of 1 week, or a delay of 6 months. And which bugs are you going to fix. Some people love the current SHIII for others there are just too many bugs to enjoy it. And how are you going to get a budget for 1 week, or 6 months additional programming.

Those are huge problems, imho it is way to simple to state that one wants it as bug free as possible. UBI always tries that (within their budget). The main problem I think is that they don't have a budget to fix all the bugs the community want them to fix.

I just hope the UBI team will have a good feel when the balance between bugs and working features is good enough for a release, or that they have some one that can really suck up to the CEO in order to get a good budget that allows for an extended beta test and a few programmers that can fix the discoverd bugs.

That does not still excuse releasing a buggy game. There should not be any excuse because they are making money on the product and we are paying for it. Period.
