Are you dismissing or being unkind to the OP, when he/she seems to only wish for a product fit for purpose?
Is it really so naïve to wish for a game to function upfront?
I am trying to stretch my imagination to which industry this degree of "suck it up" would apply - besides SW and movies - but not too many, really. A car that would spin out of control... not good... A corporate bond that would default... not good... Talvivaara mining, combining that corporate bond failure with severe pollution... even less good...
But to release a game that requires quite some patching... industry norm! Really...?
