Just a further addition. I sure as hell don’t want to waste my bandwidth on patches. Too many companies already release poorly tested games and the penalty for that should be cost in their own bloody bandwidth. I sure as hell dont want to support poor rushed coding.

@Mark B. – do you also think that the people commenting that they have had these issues are being paid too? Anyway, paid blogging without disclosure is illegal in many countries including the US. Which means your comment is libelous if it is not true.

This is clearly a paid article. Someone at Solid State Network has decided it makes more sense to pay bloggers than actually bring a solid product to the market.

It’s a shame TorrentFreak (and specifically Ernesto) has gone down to that level.
