If a drunk driver hits somebody, I'm not going to admire them for pulling over and doing all they can to help. Yes, it's the right thing to do - but they wouldn't be in that situation if not for their own harmful behavior to begin with.

It's more like someone who says they will drive you somewhere but when you get in the car with them they reveal that they can't drive, but they are going to learn over the next few months and they will definitely drive you were they originally promised just as soon as they've done that.

I agree with you that free add-ons to games are great but they shouldn't just be the originally promised functionality

It's more like someone says they'll drive you somewhere, but when you get in the car you can't see them in the driver seat but they say it's just a bug in the car due to heavy server load. Then 3 years later they reveal they show up and get in the car.

Hello Games didn't kill or hospitalize anyone, though. I realize you're making an analogy, but a sense of perspective is warranted.

Yes, it should instead be compared to white collar crime. Fraud, perhaps. Wait, is this still an analogy?

Nothing but wallets were hurt in the creation of this game.

Except if you were unhappy with the game, couldn't you just return it?

Yeah, I think Steam allowed refunds even after the default 2 hour limit.
