Hmm..these things happen. On the game front the entire Falcon 4 team was fired close to christmas as well, when Hasbro 'restructured'. Falcon 4 was to the flight sim community what something like ..oh..Bryce& Poser, or 3DS Max is to the 3D community. THe product that everyone aims for, and the benchmark against which other consumers judge new titles. And it was axed because Hasbro felt there wasn't enough money in the Flight sim market. But..we the players got the development teams last and final patch before they were let go. One day after they released the patch Hasbro fired them all. shrug These things do happen, and there is no accountability to a software company when they release software with bugs, and don't fix them. They are under no obligation to do so. You spent your money on the software as is, no where in you're license agreement is it written that the company will continue to provide support to you for one year after purchase, or six or three months or whatever. There is no such agreement between you the consumer, and the producers/developers of the program. If anything..it is implied..and hoped for by the consumer. Right now, we take the crap and sit and wait and hope it all gets better, because maybe 80% of the program works..and we can work around the other 10%. So WE accept it. Theres no way in hell you would buy a Television if sometimes the brightness control doesn't work..or a Radio that couldn't pick up stations above 100, and say well..i don't adjust brightness that much..or I don't listen to those stations anyway I can accept it. We would NEVER accept that in any other consumer product..WHY do we accept it with Computer Software?? And why then moan and complain, when a company decides that it isn't worth it to them, to spend any further development time supporting a product, or that there are more profitable ventures out there.
