Ot: all i want for christmas

Is a developer to follow this template:

The Ten Commandments of Gaming

All come with the caveat "under no circumstance";

1) Thou shall not require the CD/DVD to be in the drive to play the game.

2) Thou shall not employ copy protection.

3) Thou shall not embed in-game advertising.

4) Thou shall not use the community to beta test your product at $49.99.

5) Thou shall not release any product missing specific marketing claims.

6) Thou shall not require the latest video card and whack drivers to run graphics that look no better than HL1.

7) Thou shall not port.

8) Thou shall not release any SP mission that does not end properly.

9) Thou shall not release any MP mode that does not end properly.

10) Thou shall not be in need of a day of release patch.

Is this cost prohibitive for a game market that may tolerate a $59.99 price tag for a PC game CE hyped to the max? Or would such development costs lead to a price point on street date well in excess of $100.00? Would you buy it at that price?

I heard rumors that all this will be fixed in 1.09

Oh, you're not talking about ArmA?

As do most games released in 1998.

In 2007, I'm expecting Time itself to release a hotfix correcting the amount of days in the year.

This is not an ArmA bash thread; it is posted in the Off Topic section as it relates in a generic fashion to any game/any delveloper/any publisher.

I pick the correct forums to bash ArmA specifically in.

Can't wait for Starcraft II - Blizzard is such a professional developer
