At the end of the day, it's a $35 game, and IMHO not worth anger for any reason whatsoever. Frustration? Sure. Disappointment? Sure. Anger? I don't see the need. I do understand that some people may have budgets that prevent them from buying lots of games, but I also realize that these are people who can afford a PC, an internet connection, and a $35 game, so I have a hard time feeling like these are people on the verge of destitution.

Anyway. Don't worry. Be happy. Can't we all just get along? Can I use a few more catchy phrases in this post?
The frustration comes from disappointed anticipation and is understandable. It comes from the love of the game and what it could be. The anger comes from overindulgence in frustration and is not understandable. I agree $35, even when it's all you can spend on a game for a whole year (some of us have families to support, you know), is not worth getting angry about.

The louder you shout (metaphorically speaking) at other people, the louder they feel they must shout to be heard. So just post your opinion and leave the personal attacks aside. And don't try to shout others down.

Just my opinion.
