At least by buying it now I can help ensure the problems of the game get all the attention they deserve.

I totally disagree with that on a fundamental level. I shouldn't have to fork out cash today to ensure that I get a better product TOMMORROW. Thats totally inverted. Its supposed to be that the producer satisfies the consumer and that the onus is on the producer to make the product everything that the consumer wants BEFORE he buys it. That I as the consumer should have to pay a premium price for a game just to make Ubi invest sufficient post-production time in finishing it is an abhorration of the so called Market Economy.
If it were a $20 game then I'd buy it in its current form. However I'm not spending my scarce dollars on a game that isn't at the moment worth the price tag. Its not my job to ensure the future of the game by buying it before its up to snuff. Its Ubis job to make me want to buy it.

If I have to live under a capitalist system then it better bloody work the way they say it does!
