God knows why people release things before they're ready, as they only hurt themselves.

You mean the debacle of Civ 3 didn't have you convinced?

Let me rephrase that: They hurt me too. I always swear "This time, I'll wait until (my friend buys it, a patch comes out, a demo comes out, it drops to $19, whatever) before buying it." And I always break down, and later regret it. I didn't buy MOO 3, though - I started to suspect something was wrong in the final weeks.

BlizzardGR:

Opinions on the game vary, though on the GC2 forums they seem largely positive. Regardless, there are undeniably a lot of bugs that you would not see in (for example) a Microsoft-sponsored PC game at release, let alone in a console game. To me, it's like going to a job interview without showering or combing your hair. You're the same person underneath, by why saboutage yourself? The game's quality is monotonically increasing at a very rapid rate, so there's little point in diving in now, when it will be much better in a few weeks.
