I think people have just as much right to post about what they are unhappy with as they do to post what they're happy about.

And no software should be knowingly released with big problems. Sometimes they might have to let the small stuff slide (temporarily), but a buyer shouldn't be expected to have to keep up with patches and stuff to have a game that functions correctly. Some people might have only dial-up or no internet. Or not think about going on the internet to find fixes for already-released products. When you buy something, it should work right. I know it won't always, but you shouldn't just expect less.

Frankly, a lot of these glitches (getting stuck exercising (so no building skill gained), getting stuck back and forth near the mosaic so no increased healing skill, and getting stuck behind the hospital) really annoy me. They do not "make the game fun" - they make it irritating.

I like VV and VV2, but (just from reading old posts) if Village Sim had been my first experience with LDW, I'd not be wanting to buy anything else from them.

And this is a forum for game discussion, not just game praise or LDW praise.
