Then I guess I'll be the only one genuinely enjoying this game.
I think we all may be setting our sights too high. a terrible mistake happened, but its still not doomed. lots of blockbusters came out with terrible bugs. Call of Duty is PRIME example. Homefront didn't work for like 2 weeks after it was released.
I don't think we're setting our sights too high at all. I honestly don't think that you can have a worse cardinal sin on a software release than to accidentally release a dev build as final release. Thank god it was over steam and not pressed to disc... if this was relased on disc and not distributed through steam god help them.
Someone wasn't paying attention when they uploaded file to steam. It's not hard to tell the difference between version 0.83 and 1.0. I am expecting one or several people to get fired for this. They basically ruined the launch of what could have been a wholly decent game for a large portion of their fan base. Bad PR snowballs quickly, to the point where people won't even know why they think something sucks... they just know it sucks (Try asking someone who doesn't know anything about computers their opinion of windows Vista).
From the company I'm expecting AT LEAST a formal apology (owning up to the mistake that the company made), and probably a free DLC or two before I'll even consider purchasing a game from this company again.
Though, how much more can we expect from the company who made Call of Juarez?
