As I said in my previous post, I'll be one of the first to buy Civ4 as soon as it is released, no matter how buggy it might be (and I have a strong feeling that it will be very buggy). I think that the industry is counting with people like me in order to keep releasing buggy games.
Good lord! "COMPLETE" civ is out and NO FINAL PATCH?

Regardless of the bugs, I still feel in debt to Firaxis, if I just count the dollars per hour of play ratio for Civ3 its pretty damn good value. I just finished one game of civ that took 30 hours, whereas I've bought other games, for $40 and played them for less than 10 hours before never using them again.
I hate the fact that they don't fix these things, but its still the best game there is.

I respect people who will stick to their principles like this. I know that I won't. I fully expect that I'll pre-order Civ4 to make sure I have it the first possible day.
If more people did then the publishers might take notice and change things. They might start to value quality over getting a title out the door so that it is on the shelves Thanksgiving weekend (the biggest shopping time in the USA).

Well, as I said, I tend to wait for any game. because I'm a cheapskate, although I did buy Civ 2 as soon as it was released
. People should not assume, though that not buying Civ 4 will result in a less buggy Civ 5, it's just as likely to result in Infogrammes deciding that there is no demand for turn based strategy games any more and dropping the genre. I don't have a lot of faith in corporate intelligence.
