Some Good News, It Seems.

when they are done, I think this team will give us a flawless game.

Call me an idealist, but it is my opinion that a game should be done prior to being released. Obviously there will be some minor issues that pop up, but the degree of bugs in ETW (and many other games for that matter) just shouldn't ever make it to release. Seems like these companies should have more pride in their products they are producing. And now I'll step off my soapbox.

Who would want to disagree with that!?

But I am afraid that we are stuck with what we are seeing industry wide.

I think the days of the 3 month beta test are long gone and in a security conscious world, the games industry is not exception.

In house testing only gets you so far, and when it is your baby you are looking at, it is tough to be completely objective not to mention the lack of broad platform trials.

You can’t blame them if they fear pirates or theft of code. We saw what happened just with the demo trials.

It is a shame that it isn’t perfect, but you can’t find a lot to complain about the level of support and commitment they are showing.
