Don't remember who anymore, but I got a game once for $60 that you were supposed to have an entire world to run around in... but had a bug that wouldn't let you leave one freaking town. There was never even a patch for that game at all. I think I'll hunt them down and demand my money back.
Civilization had a bug for two versions, every time I'd learn paratroopers the game would crash. I'm sure you've wasted money on such programs, why hold OOTP to a higher standard than we do the big game businesses? Because they can afford to not give a dime about what you think? Their money buy them a pass?

I don't hold it to higher standards. In fact, these days, I'd say I hold it to rather low standards: play as advertised. Markus' very words were " It now works as advertised". That says it never has in the 2006/2007/v8 versions. That's pretty weak.
I am not asking for my money back, that would just be asinine. The point was, he admits it's never worked right, but still expects everyone to hand over 25 to 40 dollars for what equates to a small update and a patch. I've bought other games that didn't work as they should have and been disappointed. Those games, however, never came out and said it was broken. They just closed up shop or got bought out by someone else. They generally didn't make the same game 3 years in a row with the same exact bug (mainly because they were out of business).
But you know, whatever it takes for the fanboys around here to steer away from the real issues at hand.
