look at gamespy's mailbag section. Talks all about games being rushed out the door. They mention Activision and how they hurt developers with their bloated business model. They release too many crappy games and then use the revenue from one popular game to cover their losses. There was an example of Troika which designed Vampire the Masquerade game with the HL2 engine. They were given a set development time for the game, but it still had a lot of bugs. The games released had to be delayed until HL2 came out. They could've done extra work now that they had time, but there was no money from Activision for the patch. But they do say the blame is on both sides. Like developers often think too big and have way too big hopes for their game and that creates bugs. This might be the case with CA
