 For some of you, it isn't enough, but I think the devs have proven themselves after the year of our queen.  Give them a break and let them do their jobs.

PopCap's Job was to create a budget in order to develop, test and release a working product to us, the consumer.

Our job is to invest in the product. If at any given time we feel that our purchase doesn't meet up to the required expectations (or isn't fit for purpose) then as far as i'm concerned we, the consumer have every right to complain about said investment.

Job...? 

I think your expectations of POPCAP and its devs are misplaced just because you paid for a game.

    So what level of expectation am I supposed to have then? And what of those less fortunate out there who don't have an infinite budget and have to carefully choose what game they purchase. Are they supposed to just grin and bear it if what they have spent their money on doesn't achieve a reasonable standard of acceptibility?

    Listen, the singlemost important thing when you purchase a game is that, if nothing else, it works to a standard that doesn't have a detrimental effect on the overall gameplay experience. Minor quibbles can (and often are) overlooked but issues that have a potentially game breaking effect or physically prevent you from playing it simply cannot be brushed aside - irrespective of how much you paid for it.

    That is my level of expectancy - a level which i consider as being neither unreasonable nor unachievable. If it appears "misplaced" or beyond the realms of feasibility then i really do stand corrected.
