No. Not at all. A car is a car, a game is a game. I'm usually very open to metaphors, and I use them a lot myself, but sorry, but this just doesn't fly.

I just prefer to be patient.

This game will definitely get another patch or 2. They can't leave a very promising game in a buggy state. I'm guessing the sales would even pick up after the next patch and then with hopefully the sensible removal of OSP.

Considering all the new modding abilities, SH5 should be the best of the series in, well about 2 years..

You had me at "car metaphor".

Of course there will be patches, they have to patch it... right?

I didn't say I didn't get the metaphor, I said cars and games were completely different things.

A game is meant for entertainment, and the worst-case scenario is that you waste your money and don't have fun.
A car is a means of transport, and it's vital that it works correctly, because it's lethal if it doesn't.

I suppose a better comparison would be a dessert or a toy or something.

"A spoon? Ooh, knew there was something. Er, if you go across the street, there's a very nice restaurant there that has some really nice plastic spoons, so if you go there and ask them nicely..."

I'd be very surprised if it didn't get at least one patch.

Preferably more, of course, including patching out that horrid DRM.

The least they can do, should they abandon it.

That launcher sure has no shortage on patches...

Come on... bugs and noncences must be systematically fixed in ione download called patch.
Moders should make a game different, from arcade to sim, but not to clear and wash the garbage.

Could you imagine 14 years old kid, non English speaking, searching mod by mod, to make it playable... and not claiming refund to shop or website.
