I also agree that the publisher could have stated it was going to be a paid beta, but I doubt that would have garnered enough funds to continue development.

We have multiple choices..
1. We can help the developer as much as we can with beta testing and constructive criticism
2. We can enjoy the features that are in the sim until others features are added or fixed
3. We can buy the sim and move on to other things and hope our monetary support will make a difference
4. We can wait a few years for another developer
5. We can spam the forums with vindictive negativity that can only drive away prospective customers, so we can tell everyone we told you so in an empty forum.
or 6, we could accept the humble apology from Luthier and team for selling us a dud, and be happy that the community manager at least corresponds with us on a daily or weekly basis reassuring us that our points/concerns and bug reports or being listened to and that work is being done to fix them, maybe even giving us a little taster of things to come. This very simplistic action would take a lot of heat out of the forums, sadly it seems that it is beyond them.
