The windshield analogy doesn’t work. The windshield is made correctly and does what it’s supposed to do including keeping the gravel out of the driver’s face…the gravel is a road hazard with acceptable risk and usually covered by good insurance and the driver can be assured his windshield will be repaired in a timely fashion.
If the game has design flaws, the same can not be said about the game. It just wasn’t made right in the first place and people paid good money with the assumption that the game was finished and working well. Then the people trusted the maker of the game to get things fixed in a timely fashion…and here we are 17 months later…
