I expect perfection from a company that have already had thier fair share of chances with the whole "trial and error" reason you give.
I do not expect a game studio that has already been through these problems, and already had a lot of shit talked about them for that exact reason, to get it wrong.
No game is going to be 100% perfect on release but Dice/EA dont seem to get the simple fact that a policy of "make them buy the game then we will sort it out" is unacceptable. You would not accept that in any other industry!!!
And I am not jumping on any bandwagon. I have played 1942 from release and bought Vietnam and BF2. I have made my mind up simply on what I have been presented with.
1) A demo that crashed
2) Crappy patch support
3) £35 on a game that I know has not been polished to a level that it should be at release
4) Bad reviews from people who own the game
The biggest problem with EA is the power they have. They buy up all these great independant studios, wring them dry then either disband the studio or force its staff to become EA employees. They have a shit load of capital for marketing and connections to make sure every gamer on the planets hears about thier products. Why should I buy from a company that is only intrested in profits and not the product they deliver?
