Is it just me or has the retail world of gaming completely gone to the dogs. It seems these days that when you buy any game, it needs a thousand updates after you install it to be playable. I recently installed by X3 reunion only for Steam to try and download the entire game again @ 4Gb. A couple of games bought for xmas.... Atari's Star Raiders, use to play this on the ole atari 2600, but noticed a bargain so bought it.... what a waste of money. its a space shooter but games like Freelancer still leave it for dead. But my real gripe is that it keeps crashing... middle of a level, Application error. why cant they just release a fully tested game rather than this beta rubbish... and now for the real gripe... Lego Harry Potter 5-7, a game with large amount of dollars for development and then gets released with this game mappings bug they cant fix, or can be bothered to fix... This stupid game costs megabucks to buy and its faulty. try telling the person behind the desk that you trying to return the game because of a software glitch ... plenty of blanks looks... Anno 2070, a major update to apparently 'Balance' gameplay, why not just update the game before release.. You pay $100 for a game, then you have to pay more $$$ of your download quota... Its all a big conspiracy by the gaming world. The games should have a warranty that covers them for one year of (included by the provider) updates or bug fixes. You buy a car, it covered for faults for a year or three, you buy a TV, its covered for one year or three, why not games?? Comments people.. Surely there's alot of people with the same feelings towards this untested gameplay. ..... Waves fist at screen .....
