I wouldn't say in public that I will commit a crime even as a empty or imaginary togue-in-the-cheek threat.
But we may punish them by postponing the purchase of expansion pack ( if you choose to buy it anyway) for few weeks until the price come down. Teeth for teeth, delay for delay...
It is perfactly legal and even good for your purse. It is right thing for us to do for the health of our capitalism and consumerism that we pay less for game with less quality. Lets pay full price for full quality top-notch game and let their endeavor be compenated in financial way and show our thanks and respect to the developers.
But let's pay less price for game which is so buggy and made in cheaper way and too many corners were cut. By this, we can punish them in financial way. This is only and most effective way to let our angry voice be heard by those game developers who gave us more agony and anger than pleasure.. This will be most apelling and chilling threat to them.
True, but the only way to know if software is buggy before you buy it is to visit fan sites like this one and read the forums. That is why it is good that there are so many "where is the patch" threads. It gives people the information they need to make an informed purchase.
Even if there really is a patch, and it fixes all the problems, I will treat any future Take2 product like a used car. Investigate it thoroughly before buying and pass if there is any indication of a problem at all.
