Because I bought it, and because I supported it when there was still time for things to change, I feel perfectly justified in pointing out its flaws after the fact, just like I pointed them out during the fact.
It wasn't a matter of getting suckered like with some games, where they promise you one thing and you get another. No, we got exactly what we had been getting all throughout beta. What myself and many others did, however, was hope that a game created in a genre of multiple patches and fixes, would effectively trim the fat and correct itself. Our hopes were misplaced, for sure, as fixes came, but far after the majority moved on to greener pastures.
