I was really looking forward to Fable 2 before it came out, I even pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. On release day, being told that the Hobbe figurine wasn't actually going to be included after all should have set warning bells ringing in my mind... the amount of bugs and glitches in Fable 2 (some of them game-breaking) utterly destroyed any confidence and respect I ever had for Lionhead Studios.
Why aren't games publishers held legally accountable for releasing their sub-standard Beta versions? They should be given a fine for knowingly releasing an unfinished product.
Because of what happened with Fable 2, I'm not going to be buying Fable 3.
