im actually very glad you are keeping this going. this is a very real problem, and even in the "open letter to game makers" article, i saw the same exact crap.
"well it runs great for me so theres obviously nothing wrong with the game..." and of course all the other things you responded to. its just silly.
but the truth is, its just the internet. theres always SOMEONE taking the devils advocate. ALWAYS. no matter what you say, theres someone else who will disagree just for the sake of disagreeing.
like when L4D2 was announced, and people were saying "well what about all the free updates and modding programs that were promised before launch, which was the reason i bought the game in the first place?" and people responded with "SHUT UP, I WILL BUY DAY 1!!" no, i will not shut up, but thanks, since this is an actual problem because it was extremely misleading.
this happens all the time, any time anyone makes any complaint, theres always a troll saying something totally illogical to try to shut that person down. just look at the people who make complaints right now about the female worgen models on the wow forums, or just their lack of lore in general, etc.
sorry, im rambling. but i just wanted to say that you have my support, as my computer is basically caving in on itself at this point from playing fallout new vegas. 50 hours of gameplay and somewhere around 40 crashes (most requiring a full reboot), and bugs... oooh lordy are there bugs. i've had to at several quests where i just go on a rampage and kill everyone as they are so bugged and broken that its the only way to complete them. and thats weak because my character was supposed to be a "good" character. ive had to justify it by telling myself that my character suffers from split personality disorder and schizophrenia and tends to black out and go on rampages and kill everyone in sight. oh wait, thats me developing those things from simply playing this bugged out piece of crap. WHOOPSY!!
edit: just wanted to add that i did a clean install of windows and am using brand new drivers, as i foresaw what would happen with this game, as the same problems occurred with oblivion and fallout 3. i wanted as much of an advantage as i could get, so much for that. and its not like drivers or windows are affecting in game bugs, that's just the programming/game engine.
