He has a point

but he's using it as a slippery slope argument, so that's no good.

The game is obviously playable, but remember how many people played the open betas for Warcraft and Age of Mythology and hell - almost any large scale release? They played through a technically playable game that had a bunch of unfinished or totally broken features, bugs, huge exploits.... and they fed back those problems to the devs so they would make sure that the Orcs didn't get 10000 Gold at the beginning of a certain campaign. This way when Timmy goes down to the store on release date he doesn't have these problems which he has to deal with.

I really enjoyed the game at the beginning. After a few hours play I posted a huge praise thread for CA. I had begun my campaign as Julii and was loving every minute of learning the game. That's when the fun stopped unforunately - once I learned how to play the game I didn't feel lilke I could improve at all and after playing a half dozen factions I got bored with teh battles; they were no longer epic contests of strategical prowess. The battles were known to be broken during the Demo so I focused on the new parts of the game I hadn't seen.... so that wasn't a large aspect of my concern at the time since I'd already ranted about it earlier and expected a patch to come to fix it.....
