First of all it's hardly unplayable to the vast majority of players, but we can understand the frustration from a personal standpoint.

To address your points, it was released as bug free as any piece of software is expected to be. No software is ever perfect and there will always be something, someone finds that crops up over time. Fixing bugs in a "reasonable" time is subjective to what is reasonable. The game was released in mid-December and in late January a patch was released to address some issues AND to add enhancements to the game. Another patch is in the works which not only addresses the remaining possible issues but also adds another major additional enhancement, PBEM. And oh, regarding the blue screen that can be fixed by minimizing/maximizing the game again.

Finally, regarding the forum, unfortunately chalk that up to the mysteries of the 'net. Some games will have wildly active forums, others don't. War Plan Pacific continues to be a top seller and continues to garner enthusiastic and positive reviews. Why folks aren't talking about it more on the forums, I don't know.
