Releasing the game on the same day you fire the developers is a great way to have a bad game experience. Game development is no longer "release something that works", it's "release something and patch it until it works".

My condolences for anyone who's paying to play in this debacle.

I was surprised to recently have a patch to Portal 2 pop up in Steam. That game was from April 2011 and someone at Valve is still apparently actively spending time patching it.
