I'm starting to notice some mass hysteria among community members. Yes, the game has bugs. Yes, it has lots of rough edges. Yes, the balance in the stock game is completely terrible. But let's put this in perspective. SE4 was just as bad when it first came out, and it's still very rough and unbalanced after 5 years. I can think of at least one good game that was killed by its own fan community because they got carried away with whining and complaining. The fact is that SE5 does a lot of exciting new things, and compared Stock to Stock against SE4, SE5 is much better.

Balance is no issue at all, since it can be altered/modded. The problem is, certain things will not change, such as a User Interface. I cant remember a single game where a patch introduced an entirely new interface, basicly because of the work involved.
Since the UI is the most important part of a strategygame, this is where the problem comes from. I for one am pretty sure SEIV was better than SEV without patches and all.
What is weird is the fact that this demo is so flawed. If the game goes retail in october, there is no more time to change stuff, maybe a few days, a week at the most. WTF should i buy a game that is not enjoyable (for me) at the moment, in order to wait and HOPE for bugfixes and patches, which are not certain at all ?
What exactly is the point in releasing a game which is not ready, just to add patches afterwards ? It makes absolutly no SENSE at all, apart from one point: There is no money left and you are forced to release it.
