I guess I'm looking to see who my ire should be directed towards. If it's part of the contract with Activision, then that's who's to blame. If it's simply that CA believes they've fixed the bugs they need to fix, then it would be CA's fault. It's an important issue for the future, now that they are owned by Sega, because if it was Activision's fault, then we can reasonably hope that things will improve. But if it's CA's idea, then changing publishers isn't going to help.

Just wanted to point out and clarify, that SEGA not only is the future publisher for CA, but has also acquired CA in the sense one company buys 50%+ shares in another company and takes over its management. Thus CA is now a subsidiary of SEGA. Activision was simply a publisher, and the right and duties of parties (Actvi. & CA) were contractual in nature.


And I do clearly remember reading Shogun's post on .com after he released the readme file before the release of the Patch 1.2, where he clearly said this would be the last patch. In fact lots of patrons questioned the 'last patch' policy at the time and showed concerns about an eventuality where the 'last patch' may introduce fresh problems specially due to the large number of changes and fixes in the patch. However, CA never responded to any of those concerns.

Hope it clears a few things.
