In previous games (Elder Scrolls and Fallout) if you left something in the wrong spot for too long it went up with a puff of smoke (not literally), gone, nothing, see - ya - good bye. To add insult to injury, it doesn't help that in Skyrim EVERYTHING is remembered by the game - every item dropped, every arrow stuck in a wall, and so on. Their engine relies heavily on scripts that interact and effect each other and if you do something slightly out of an order that they had planned for you can break the game, sometimes to the point of being completely unfix-able (PC versions aside - the dev console saves you with PC). While I agree with most of what you have said, I have also become familiar enough with Bethesda's engine to know that it will NEVER be free of flaws.

You just abused the trust and lost the faith of 70+ million user base Bethesda. And if Bethesda did means test it and NOT find these massive, game breaking for many, issues during Q&A? Then quite frankly they are providing a sub-par service and don't seserve a cent from those gamers affected. There is this thing called Quality Assurance, sold as advertised and downright being fair to people who buy your product instead of taking their cash THEN telling them you have issues. If a publisher saying 'hey *certain platform* guys, remember you bought that game from us the same as the other platforms and thought you were getting the same thing? turns out your version lags when you play too much and you won't be getting DLC.' is EVER deemed acceptable and one branch of gamers are supposed to accept that, then said publisher can GTFO and expect no further purchases from me. Surely you should warn people of these issues and let them know that their may be issues in the pipeline regarding DLC as the base game itself struggled. I think a PS3 only owner who bought the same product, at the same price as PC and Xbox 360, i would be be (and was) majorly hacked off.

I initially had Skyrim for PS3 but luckily have a good PC so switched to that in the wake of the lag and DLC issues. Here goes the ignorant misunderstanding, or at very least misuse, of 'entitled'.
