Publishers of PC Software have the biggest advantage over Console games. Your Hard Drive and possibly your modem.

It is an accepted practice (though not by us) in the industry to release a game good enough to at least play knowing that it can be updated at a later date.

Now if the game is buggy but has a huge following like SH3, a patch will be released, If not, don't hold your breath because it will not be worth their time & money to patch software that no one plays or complains about despite the sales. If there are bugs, let them know you have an interest in the game/Sim and if enough people show a real interest, a patch will come out.

Console games can not be patched so when they go Gold, they are as good as Gold because they have to be perfect even if it's a bad game, it will play without bugs.

What else can be said, Good or bad, the industry exploits the advantage of update-able software.
