Little to be gained beyond tech patches?
Have you never enjoyed a story line enough to be longing for a sequel or to the point where you crawl the web in search of well written fanfic to read so that you can enjoy the story further? Or maybe wanted to write your own? The point of content is to make you play more, the more detailed and indepth the content the more you get dragged into the game and the more you ultimatly lust for its sequel. Content is VITAL to RPG type games where the main selling point for most people is the plot, story and envirment. the more detailed it is the more submerged they can become and its usually what each rpg gamer is looking for.
In that light there is a huge amount to be gained from a content patch, maybe more so than a technical patch.
Amusingly, PC games are rarely this buggy on release due to the fact that there seems to be a thin line between console and pc devlopers and the console side (especially in sony's case) love little and fast. They gave birth to the dreaded 12month deadlines. With consoles like the xbox however this line is blurred, its a PC in a box anyway. There is a higher margin for error with computer devlopers however due to the vast range of different hardware to support or even different operating systems. When you devlope for a console you know its exact specs and hardware, its relativly easy compared (yes, speaking from experiance) so its not surprising you get some teething problems occasionally with a pc.
As for equality - you have to draw the line between equality and selfishness sometime and I personally think you over stepped it. You may not get a patch because the system you have chosen to purchess the game for may have no way to patch it. The system I have chosen CAN be patched and I expect to see that functionality used to the maximum, its what I pay 800 pounds for.
It would be an issue of equality IF your system was able and legal to patch and they still didnt give you a patch and only us. But you are UNABLE. Its not an unfair jab at you, its a matter of acheivability.
If a woman gets pregnant she is entitled to maternity leave from work for a large part of it and beyond. As a male there is very little circemstance I can claim the same thing under. This is not an equality issue - this is an issue of me being unable to become pregnant due to being a man.
Likewise, you not reciving a patch isnt because they hate you but because you CANT. Stop calling it equality, its not. As such you are being selfish in trying to restrict a pc users full functionality simply because your different machine does not support the same thing. Stop pulling this equality card as it is wrongly coined to start with, simply bloody stupid and untrue.
