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.
So, with all due respects I don't fully understand why you have to take the moral high ground by insisting that those who choose to air their disappointment should refrain from doing so and "give them a break". Cynically speaking, all the devs have "proven themselves" with is, not unlike a great deal of other developers in today's industry, that they too can take advantage of the "sold as is" section that seems to firmly implanted within the terms and conditions of pretty much every single piece of software that is sold nowadays. A section which very conveniently removes pretty much all OUR consumer rights regarding the product.
I'm sorry but for these reasons alone is see no grounds for giving anyone a break.

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.
