They have screen caps of a gaming engine that takes 8 cpus to to provide sufficient power for. As the release date draws near they'll slowly say things like, "we couldn't find ways to successfully initiate this feature on the broad spectrum of end user hardware so we found it best for all involved to just remove it all together and
then add it in in a future patch." In other words, the publisher starts riding their ass about it taking to long to find a way to make all that pretty stuff run on 5 year old hardware and successfully bug test it, so they just chop a lot of the higher demad code and features out and dumb it down so they can sell a few more copies to low end users. Then the coupe de grace, 'we'll add it in a future patch' has become the equivelant of 'we don't have time to do it now because the publisher is a ratbastard cock sucker that wants it done in 3 weeks instead of 4 months reguardless of what it does for quality. So now we have to try and salvage our reputation by promising to release a patch with all the features we promised to make people pre order years ago.'
Of course, they get spend about 6 months releasing critical patches for the latest exploits before they start making the next sequel/patch/same

ing thing thats been done to death.
In otherwords, its a never ending cycle where they just want you money, satisfaction be damned.
(Holy shit, this got long :shock: )
