Big name game requires constant internet connection, releases, connectivity problems abound, community rages, server load dies down, becomes playable, we forget and move on. Sound familiar?

So I wonder who will learn first? Us or them?

Think of it in the $ way ! If you need way more Servers its gonna cost you way more! For what ? 80-90% of the buyers will login and download at the begining. For the first few days aproxximatly 70-80% people will be online. But after a week or two only 40-50% of the people will be online at the same time!
So ? do you buy Server for 100% , 80% or 60% capacity ? The question is how much would it cost to host it externally for a limited amount of time? And what about the Security issues ?

But they do know that. And they decided in the $ way.

This. More to the point when you are in game the FPS i'm getting is ridiculously low. Maybe 20 if I'm lucky at 5760x1080. I can run crysis 3 almost max and get 40-60fps, and 20 on this game, somethings wrong. I tried in Window mode, and same deal so it's not SLI.

have you guys been following the stories? its gone from sad to just comical.
Amazon pulled the game from sale entirely, and its got over 1k negative reviews on amazon.
and it started with articles on pcgamer and maxpc etc. but then those articles moved to places like Cnet and MSN.. then the articles hit the Times and Forbes.. now even ABC is reporting about the issues.

this is just out of control nonsense.
