Totally agree. I feel like we're seeing this "hurry up and get it on the shelf, we can always patch it later" mentality from the publishers (and possibly retailers and anyone else with a vested interest). Sure, they patch it but...
1) while a good number of gamers are on-line connected, not all are so they're stuck with an unfinished product
2) The patches can make things worse

It's disappointing that we're not seeing the niche titles we did 10+ years ago. Believe it or not, I liked Arena Football and NCAA Baseball (the concept anyway). For the titles/sports we see, everything is an exclusive license, no competition...

The lawsuits are getting ridiculous. It still sounds like goodbye to college sports games and now this?

Only good that might come from a crash is that the industry might re-organize

...might...
