Barvaz, what you're saying does make sense, and I haven't as yet been able to formulate my own opinion one way or the other, but I'll give you an example that contradicts (I think) your claim: Diablo and Blizzard. They kept coming up with patches and fixes for years after the game was released, and I'm pretty sure that the reason for that is that the game still sells and it's been a great hit...
