another thread I said they must be taking lessons from MicroSoft, some just didnt get it?
"gee heres a new shiny object operating system full of bugs we'll throw a bunch of patches at, BUY IT!"
about the time people see all the flaws and bugs, they release a new shiny object OS, claim its great.
personally I think THAT business model is messed up, planned obsolescence and coerced system upgrades for profits. "your browser is outdated please upgrade" = buy a new computer and operating system because we created a new (flawed!) shiny object never perfecting what you bought last time.
(meantime suppressing what might be great and stealing their ideas too)
to me its almost the same thing, with pinball machines? rushing to produce the next game before code for the last one is made good, for something far less complex than a computer video game?
I totally get what the OP is saying, they'll keep doing it if they can keep getting away with it.
