With devs these days doing road maps, and SI posting last year they wanted to be more transparent with consumers, how come it is we are sitting here 4 days post-release, and we can't start a long term game because of game breaking bugs? A road map displaying e.g. patch scheduled for release on the x.x.x, would create so much more consumer satisfaction and clarity that things are being worked on.
The silence makes it even more worse. We are paying consumers here, who are expecting things to at least work a little bit - specially considering half the issues we are having, were addressed in the headline features as being fixed.
Look at OOTP as an example, similar style game - they announce upcoming patches in their forums.
