I just can't believe that after an update they don't actually send out the beta update to some users for pre-release checking. Sounds like the gaming industry needs some control standards to provide their customers with a satisfying product. Seems like all the game companies are just marketing anything and everything they can at will without regard as to how to satisfy customers, and retain them. Just get all the revenue you can at any cost to the consumer. Same thing happened when Win95 came out, patch on patch, on patch. Then MS got smart and started refining the programs before consumers stop buying their products. Just think about how many people bought AC, played it once, then threw it in the rubbish pile, never to be played again due to a bad first buy experience.
When I worked for SONY, we did extensive product trial runs so that when it hit the market it was free of major issues, and customers were satisfied, and were retained. I know I'm ranting off, but it really is out of control. I mean, it took two days for Kunos to even acknowledge this latest issue. And now it's the weekend and who knows if we'll get our race on.
