I just don't get it, they keep releasing bug filled games, one after another, people keep buying them, even though the previous game is a mess, and turn around and tell them 'good job'.

*scratches his head*

I wonder what happened to the folks at Taldren.

Honestly?
I cared a lot about bugs 10 years ago. But have you looked at PC games lately? They are all fucking console ports, simple as shit and short as hell. Lots of them dont even support proper customizable controls.

This game is a true PC game in quite some time, and I give a fuck if its buggy or not. Its still playable (especially the multiplayer and editor are fucking awesome) and nowhere near as bad as some reviews claim it to be. BIS has proven before that they care a lot for their games and patch them up. Also BIS is a very small company and they still do some of the now very few most complex games out there (yeah pretty sad).

Another big reason I still support them and buy their games, even if bugged, is they still do their games with a lot of effort and devotion. You actually notice that they like doing their games. I dont notice that in most console ports at all.
Also they are listening to their community. And ALSO they dont implement DRMs.
