It pains me to agree but I think this post is probably pretty accurate. It does seem that, on occasion, Markus could be a little more sensitive to the complaints that are aired, here on the forum. This is a great, bordering on fantastic game. It would be a shame to leave this product sitting at 95% when 99% seems to be achievable. I don't believe "perfect" is a realistic goal. I do think that constant improvement should be an imperative instead of just a marketing slogan. In case anyone is interested I am also mildly disappointed that there has not been a final patch to address what seems to be, for some players, a close to game breaking bug. I haven't seen it, but if it exists then it should be addressed.
