I'm not going to pretend I know anything about software (I'm a pc hardware man myself) and especially when it comes to game code so I have no idea what they could of done to limit bugs before the commercial release other than taking more time to test the game. Those that are making analogies to getting bread that is not done from a baker or a hollow loaf of bread, I tend to disaggree. This is more like a contract with a baker for an order of different types of breads, and the baker delivers you a few of the promised say flavors. You inquire where is the cinnamon swirl or the sour dough...how bout my side of those tasty pastries you promised, and the baker replies, "I apologize kind sir(or madame), but alas, I was only able to bake these few. I promise I will deliver you the rest along with the pastries if you can give me some more time." Well, at this point, one has a few choices, the two main ones being, give the baker a chance and decide to stick with him cause the bread is really good(and how good is the stuff you haven't gotten going to be) or cut one's losses and try another baker.
Dekkert, I like this analogy :)

People are going to extremes on this topic, because vutescu once again tried to push his 'just kill it and get a new one' philosophy. Vutescu I hardly believe my post shames you, based on your previous post content. And I hardly care either.

'Even if I pay 1 cent for something, I have the right to rip off the producer's head' - utter rubbish, which planet do you come from? Items that cost 1 cent virtually come with a 'don't like it, throw it away, not our problem' disclaimer. I think you take your examples from your ideals, and not from genuine life experience.

If you're prepared to call people like Neun fanbois, you may as well leave now. People like Neun are the reason you still have a game to play, the reason why so much player input has been acted upon, and the reason that Nevrax employees still get out of bed in the morning. They do not do this for the likes of you. Please read that last sentence 10 times in a row. Then print it out and carry it with you.

EDIT: And whilst I agree with the 'evasion' claims on the Q&A stuff, I still don't think it justifies posts like yours. You seemed to have reached the point of 100% negativity, and there's no way back from that. Except maybe taking a break - I have done, and I'm very much looking forward to loggin in again at the weekend :)

@Raynes - Couldn't have put it better myself. My sub is an investment, and one that I'm happy to make atm.
