This is counterbalanced by them deliberately and knowingly releasing a broken and unfinished game for financial gain.
BLUES USERS ARE SO NEGATIVE!
But yes agreed.
Touche. This game, however, is probably my most disappointing purchase of 2011. Got suckered into pre-ordering it based on Tripwire's reputation and their past games. I could have forgiven bugs, lots of them, big ones if it was something that somehow got through testing but these people deliberately released a broken game. There is no way in hell they can pretend that they didn't know it wasn't fit for release, but they went ahead and did it anyway. And hey, it worked out for them too... I think this was their fastest selling and/or most profitable game, so well done to them for shamelessly trading decency and their customers' expectations away for the dollar bills.
We bemoan the "release now, patch later" mentality that is all too prevalent in this gaming industry but this game is the worst example I have ever seen.
