Nice justification. Sounds like you don't want to play the game in the first place.

I want it too, but I too am just fine with waiting for it to work before I get it, especially with how long it took them to get the first one working. I don't go to an automotive plant and buy a car before they've assembled it, so why should I buy a game before they've completed it? Little patches after release are one thing, but with the German version full of bugs as bad as I'm reading about, the game is going to feel like it's still in development when it hits shelves everywhere else. It's a nice concept to buy it right at the get-go to support future development, but it's a nicer concept to buy it when it's done to support finished development. Otherwise, we're going to continue to buy BIS's ideas and not their finished products. What faith I had from OFP was fully consumed, and then some, with ArmA.
