Yet, you never answered my question in regards to putting out a complete working game without the need for updates and patching, and putting those resources into the next version of the game.
What you are telling me is that the majority of users on this game EXPECT to pay for an incomplete game that requires patches, updates, and user beware...
I'm not up for a good hamster wheel spin when I pay for what I EXPECT, is a clear running and functional game.
However, why do I care? I have not installed any patch or update.
However, I know now that if I purchase this game on the release date, I do so knowing that is an unfinished product.
Not to be degrading, but I will refer to this game as the "cult of Markus" and no longer OOTP  |
To me you have an argument when it comes to a console where all hardware is the same. But your argument means nothing in today's world. That ship has sailed and isn't coming back, simple as that.
When you develop for pc, mac, there will never be a release that can be expected to have no issues for some users. Of course OOTP could go the way of other producers and just tell users "too bad, wait til next version". Feel free to list your top 10 pc games that didn't follow up with a patch.
You haven't patched and say you are happy. You haven't patched so why should you care? Well for someone that doesn't care you sure post a lot
Everyone is free to wait for the final patch before playing the latest version and there are some long time users here who do just that.
As for me I've applied all of the patches and am still happily playing, with the new improvements
And FWIW I have imported my on going game into every new version from 2002 til v19, installed all patches along the way, and have never lost my league or had to restart. So you'll have to excuse me if I have a little faith in Markus.
