No. One I am not renting the game, I own them once they are bought and two I am realistic. Nothing is ever bug-free (ever tried coding and programming?). As long as they fix them when reported, that is what I care about and not everyone gets the same bugs either (the biggest ones had emergency patches). I never had some of the problems people mentioned in the past (half the problems people have is often due to mods, so that is to be expected and the risk people take). By the way, nobody wants bugs but every game I played had some at some point and some never been fixed. That is not ideal, but it happens. People just want fixes when they do happen. Sims 3 hasn't been fixed and won't now, that is the problem
As for prices, that is due to the economy and typical for new games. You can wait for sales, look around for better deals or try to enter contests. Shop wisely and it would mean saving money and sometimes pain.
Also just because YOU didn't ask for something, doesn't mean others don't want it. The beauty is you don't have to buy everything. I had to wait a long time but finally getting Island Living and Realm of Magic like I been wanting personally. Different people may want different things. Personally, I don't understand the hype of University (farming even less so. I guess people really like chores? They voted for laundry....I don't know why, but each their own) unless they have an overall education overhaul and add some new careers that we can't enter with a degree. Reasons to want it.
