I am not interested in debating semantics about playability, the exact parameters of the problems, or whether a specific problem was foreseeable versus is representative of the “known unknowns” whose unmasking is the inevitable trade-off of offering so much customization to so many people.

The concern is that there are (a) enough bugs (b) of a large enough impact for a product marketed as a realistic and immersive simulation (c) evident in pretty much out-of-the-box simulating on (default) conditions that surely at least SOME of them should have been flagged by an honest and committed play-testing effort.

That this an annual matter with each new release only compounds the impressions of complacency and disrespect for the consumer’s time, money, and loyalty.
