1) SF promised SEIV at retail. This hasn't happened to myknowledge. Rumors are that they are having a hard time getting back into retail after the bankruptcy due to distributors still being owed money from before the bankruptcy.

Actually, the game has started appearing on shelves in some places in the last few weeks. Quite lame to have taken this long to do it, of course.

...they are releasing games that need major pathches immediately...

In all fairness, SEIV was in need of patches on release day too. But at least that didn't have teams of programmers behind it.
