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. |
Why should I care, of course the blanket sabotage argument: Check out my image and answer your own question.
You say "Of course OOTP could go the way of other producers and just tell users "too bad, wait til next version"."
Or better yet, sell an incomplete game that you claim is the next version, with no acknowledgements or claims that is not complete or will need patches and updates: you go ahead and purchase under this false understanding, at full asking price, this game.
Then you find out it is not what you were led to believe, your answer is to quote 10 PC games that were not as advertised and tell me too bad, ship has sailed with your old school mentality? Really? Why do I care about 10 f'ing PC games, this is the only PC game I have purchased in the last 10 years.
Bud, make sure you do the testing for them and ride that hamster wheel of eternal gratitude, because they "gave" you this game to play.
Sounds like some Stockholm Syndrome to me, Again, tell me how that is right?
Of course, your answer to close all dialog is the whole "ship has sailed" silencer.
Maybe I have some faith in this crew, however if you believe all faith should never be questioned, how about you PYHOOYA and check out all the faith I have put in this game at this thread:

Really, I get a kick out of sharing my time, so jump of a bridge with all the veiled personal attacks.
Again, don't bring any argument to the table, simply crap on my concern and call me a malcontent, my argument means nothing and blah blah.
Still waiting for a valid counter to my argument.
and again, I'm glad you applied all the precautions to save yourself from the headache of having a patch or update obliterate your game, but what I gather from your post is you have probably involuntarily been forced on the hamster wheel of patch f-up before, you are wise to it now. Many others are not.
So that is the reason I post so much, and why I care.
