If there is a hair in my sandwich, I'm going to complain about it-- but I might also pull the hair out and keep eating because its my only sandwich and I'm hungry.

As consumers we have a right to complain about defects in the game, especially when virtually every Total War game has been riddled with mutiplayer bugs upon release. At this rate, all the old timers here can predict that CA's games are going to have significant multiplayer bugs. At this rate, we all know that before we buy them. But that doesn't mean we have to keep our mouths shut about it.

Your "love it or leave it" logic also applies to these forums. If you don't like to hear what we have to say on these forums, you are free to leave. I personally think that form of logic is flawed-- but you seem to like that logic. If so, why do you keep trying to convince us rather than just leaving? I think because you like these forums and wish they were better and so you are going to stick around and do what you can to improve them.

That is precisely what we are doing regarding Shogun 2 multiplayer.
