Question is, why was the game released in the first way ?

Should those 656 fixes, changes and addition not be done BEFORE release ?
Did you see the anticipation around here leading up to release? It had to be released sometime, and it was released in a form that was at least playable for the most part. At some point you have to decide that you need to ship and can do patches along the way. If we had to wait for every single bug to be tracked down and fixed, then this community would not be what it is, and I might or might not be sitting around with the SEIII community waiting for the 1.0 release of SEIV.

And DEG, I think most of the complaints about the UI are how tedious it made doing simple things. When I had played months ago (around first patch release), SEV had a nasty habit of making me click through multiple dialogs to get anything done. I don't even remember anymore what the actions were that I was trying to do, but in general for UIs, it is best to be able to accomplish common tasks with one click or one keystroke, and reserve the multi-level dialogs for actions that are taken rarely in the game.
