    There are many, many companies that do not have these problems. They create good engines, good software that works. They test it thoroughly and deliver a working product.

    Guess Duke Nukem Forever is delayed because of this.

  11. Re:And the definition of "work"? on Are Complex Games Doomed To Have Buggy Releases? · · Score: 1

    Software runs on various systems and can break or run slow (Vista) or get buggy if it is run on improper systems. Even books get different editions and reprints and addenda sometimes becz it was missed first time round.
    What I am saying is, if the product performs well in its standard environment, a customer can't ask for money back. You cannot use a phone under water and say it broke.

    On the other hand, if game developers are indeed running after bells and whistles instead of a well running game, they ought to be some way of compensation to the consumer, maybe a coupon or a free add-on, an not full money-back guarantee.

    They might as well have named it "Bring" - as in bringing information to you. Who the hell thought "Bing" was good. I am sure they wanted to use an other worldly word like Google, but this is as creative as they could get.

    Mod this up!

    That link is by far the best page of the "test"

    My opinion is it is almost a tie between Fennec and Safari on iPhone. Seeing how Fennec is still in beta and they did not have it on N900, I am sure the release version will be better.
