Bugs....Bugs Everywhere!

Someone call the exterminator, ‘cause I’ve not seen this many bugs since that scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I gladly give credit to designers for being able to accomplish what they have on this latest generation of hardware, but it’s not been without its drawbacks. In fact, things have become so broken as of late, the day-one patch is now the new normal - despite lengthy beta-testing periods. I have a question for you readers out there: at one point did it become acceptable for studios to push out products they admit are broken at launch and we simply stopped questioning it?
