MM agreed that SEIV would be released minus some features (like a good AI) as long as it had no obvious bugs. But MM also stated that they would continue to support the game with numerous patches to add these features and also fix any bugs that were discovered.

I think this is the problem in a nutshell. If MM KNOWINGLY released SEIV without good AI, it would have been nice to advise the customers of this so they could decide to buy or not based on this critical fact.

IF MM didn't know the AI was this poor, and it is poor, then he never played his own game.

I'm very pleased that MM is working on bug patches. However, I have never seen poor AI significantly improved in a game that went gold with Gomer Pyle AI. I think in this case the AI is actually being added and not improved....

I hear (loud and clear) that people who have dealt with MM have full confidence he will bring the product up to snuff.

Despite this, in my role as a consumer of this TOP DOLLAR game, I feel misled into buying it and that I threw away hard earned money.

If I had known that good AI was knowingly left out of the game I would never have purchased it until (if) it was added.

Yes, it isn't easy to develop a game, but that's what we pay game developers for.
