Having a separate QA is horrible and can cause all sorts of delays. Most people have absolutely no clue the effort devs put into a title...
Get a life and enjoy the game you pitiful, pitiful whiners. If not... go make a multi-million dollar selling game and then get back to me about your opinion.
any moron can write what they wish to be done... it's a pro that does it.

Amen dude. As a game programmer I can tell you being caught in a publisher/QA sandwich is no fun. And having suits constantly saying no to cool features is incredibly frustrating.
Chances are the devs thought of most things people post that they want in the game, but the cold hard reality of the business world got in the way.

No, it won't. Publishers pay developers to develop - that pays the developer's salaries, office rent etc etc. Any money made from sales goes to the publisher (although there may be some kind of royalty deal with the developer).
