: Exactly. And I will be completely honest and say that I am not happy with all
: these issues this package has. It's frustrating andv343i can do a whole
: lot better. It's not just my experience that is suffering though and
: because of that I'm afraid this game is not going to get the population
: and sales numbrrs it deserves.

: I especially feel bad for the team of people who sacrificed most of their
: time this past year or do to bring us this game only to have these issues
: and recieve/read all the online insults and threats directed at them even
: when they are putting more time in to fix it.

It may be due to a business model that is ship it by the predefined date, as opposed to ship it when it's deemed bug-free. Speculative on my part, but in my corner of the gaming industry (lottery games), QA (my department) is often frustrated that we can sometimes only do as much QA as we can until they need to ship it, rather than when we're comfortable we've run all our intended testing.

Sometimes that bites the decision makers on the butt when it fails in the field.

Then again, not having a deadline to shoot for can waste a lot of time and money.

It's a mixed bag.
