Discussion: how do you feel the whole patch thing was handled? not a rant
quote:
I am not usually one for posting here giving out, moaning, praising or anything else much to be honest. I think it's because i realise that i have absolutely no idea what goes into making a computer game, but i do believe it to be an insane amount of detail. hence i keep my mouth shut.
i would like to point out that there is a group of people in SI towers AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!!! working on the patch. how many of you (that are employed) would be willing to stay this late working on something for one of your customers? how many of you would say ' ah **** it, tomorrow will do, i'm tired'
I work in a retail store in Ireland. We have been recently voted the best Shop in the country, hence we are the best in the country. we break our balls every day for our customers, perfection is our target. saying that not one of us would do what the staff of SI are doing tomight to keep the customer happy. This is more than i would expect from any company tbh.
for those of you that they say they must do this because the game is 'broken' i say you are wrong. i happily play the game with the beta patch, no MAJOR problems, none of these 'showstoppers' i have already said that i know nothing about game design but i would guess that less than 2% of the game code is wrong. again, for those of you that do work, do you get your job 98% correct? i seriously doubt it as it is nigh on impossible.
i owe SI nothing. i am not licking arse. i buy a product from them, the is flawed (in a VERY small way in my personal experience), they work until MIDNIGHT to fix it.
I applaud the work ethic, i applaud the game. have been utterly hooked since the first cm (i was very young!!)
please do not take this as a rant, if you want to abuse me for this post, dont bother, what you think is utterly unimportant to me. if you want to reply rationally, please do. i would love to know what you think

I'm working right now actually. I've worked until 2am every day this week for customers as thanksgiving is coming up and needed to get things tied up before the holidays. I should get a prize but a patch will do
