Being a software designer, I tend to notice that.

Thing is, they released buggy software. I paid good money for it, and keep paying every
month.

They should take care of it. Their game. My money. Their problem, not mine. As a
consumer, I shouldn't even have to think about these things. What happens is that the
game designers are aware as to how much the gaming public is involved in the process of
making designing games, so the EXPLOIT us.

Have you ever seen a TV released that only shows prime number channels, with a promise
to come fix it some time? Ever seen a stove that only heats to 50 degrees with a promise
to come fix it some time? Ever see a car that only turns left with a promise to come fix
it some time? No. This happens only in computer software, especially high profile games.
