Seeing some discourse about C*berpunk having "too many bugs." While that game has a host of other problems, said discourse makes me want to talk about a different issue. As gamers, we talk about three things we want:

1) Massive, ambitious games, where anything is possible.
2) Zero bugs, ever.

...twice the team. But two more years would have lead to gamers screaming about how the game was never coming and the devs were lazy. And a bigger team means the game is too expensive to sell at $60 with no microtransactions.
So again, we must pick.
