It doesn't change anything to the fact that the game is unfinished and unplayable.

I'm not giving anyone excuses.
I'm upset that the game trailers suggested that the game was running perfectly when it was in reality not doing so. But I'm not so out of touch that I think they should have released a trailer full of bugs to be completely honest with people about the current state of the game.
Luthier and Oleg have said, I believe, that they needed to push the game out of the door or it might not have been released at all. This suggests to me that the money for this project was drying up. So I understand what they did. I might be disappointed, but considering how long we've waited for the game, I'd rather wait a year for it to become playable than not have it at all.
I bought the game as soon as it was available to me on Steam. I've pre-purchased other games. I've pre-purchased plenty of games that ended up needing SIGNIFICANT patching to fix issues on lauch. It's a roll of the dice, pre-purchasing. There's no data to go on except advertising that is naturally going to be biased.
I'll be as disappointed as anyone if the game runs poorly on my machine, but I don't think I'm going to start sending the company nasty emails or post angry forum messages scolding them. Buying the game was my choice. No one forced me to do it.
