And we will, heck this is our hobby. But the far larger group of casual gamers won't. They expect products they buy to work. We should too. Of course games will from time to time need to be patched.
Software is hard to write, especially as games get more complex.
The next time you have to download a big patch to make a game work take the time to send at least one email message to the head of the game company or the support group that required you to do it. Then make good on your threat. The only way we can impact the behavior of the industry is by using our power as consumers to punish the guilty and reward the virtuous. 2001 Intelligamer .
