Yes, of course. The highpoint of intelligent modern writing is the non-phrase "**** you".
There aren't enough facepalms in the world.
I mean I understand the sentiment. But there is no reason to do it in such a way nor is it entirly accurat.
It's all in the marketing and brand reputation. The best comparison is between Bethesda and Obsidian due to the Fallout games, although Bioware could enter the discussion as well.
Both Bethesda and Obsidian release fairly buggy games but, in the case of Fallout 3 and New Vegas they each released games that exhibited roughly the same amount of bugs and the same actual bugs. Yet one is considered a triple A developer that releases great, if buggy, games while the other one is considered to release good games that are compromised by bugs. See the difference in public perception?
Also, a moment should be taken to consider the amount of content and complexity of the game systems in a traditional RPG, and the content in most bug free action games released today. The difference is huge and means a lot more investment in QA would be necessary to achieve the same sort of polish that a Gears of War or an Uncharted show.
