What does being a one man show have to do with waiting until a game is stable before releasing it?

You know, I actually have no problem with someone making a business decision to release a poor quality product. What I do have a problem with is not informing the consumer that they are taking a chance when purchasing said product. Aaron made a business decision. Unfortunately, he withheld information that would have allowed me to make an informed consumer decision.

Being a one person shop has nothing to do with quality. I would, instead, observe that being a one person shop should, perhaps, reign in the design a bit. I would have preferred fewer, but completed, features to the current plethora of half-completed features. Rather than issue patches after release, he could have released new upgrades with those missing features.

As I said, I think it was an ill-advised move to release the game in this condition. The true believers will obviously stick with the game, whatever the condition. I just hope that stalwart group doesn't find itself shrinking with each release.
