Deus Ex and the story of a broken games.

Deus Ex is out.
It's cool. Really cool, but they had already released the Fix for the game.
WTF? Do they really make mistakes or do they do that intentionally?

Well, you know, it's a giant game. They're bound to overlook some small things.

I tried BETA. It worked perfectly. No glitches and no bugs. And in full version...here you go.
I think they do that on purpose so that pirates will have troubles mainging cracks. Imagine. Some release group spent days to crack the game and BAM it turns out the game is broken and their effort was in vain. I totally pro for fighting pirates, but I don't understand why normal people should suffer.
Am I wrong?

Well I don't have DX3 so I don't know what the bugs are or how big they are, but I figured you meant minor ones, like freezing or broken cinematics on some computers.

You know, it's not impossible for a developer to actually miss a few bugs that make it into the gold release. I for one really appreciate that so many developers make an effort to weed out bugs even after going gold and release fixes that are available on the day of release. Release. Release?

We mentioned this somewhat in the thread on DLC, but I HATE that games do this. Yes, I realise that bugs can be overlooked but I still feel that developers are getting sloppy with unrealistic release dates. Me ? I want something that works right out of the can. Is that so unreasonable to expect ?

Well, if you get a patch on the day of release I think that is pretty decent. It's cutting it close alright, but still ok in my book.
