Mabye now the crybabies will chill out and actually see that HTC is actually trying to make things better.
Remember.........baby steps
They kinda don't have any choice...wouldn't ya say?
It's not the first time this has happened, in fact it happens with each new version or major change from it's original state that I can remember.
HTC puts out what they have, everyone gripes about it like crazy, the bug monitor goes ballistic and HTC fixes it as they go. In the end, every time HTC puts out a new patch and fixes something that was missed the first few times, they are proclaimed hero's for doing so.

We love the game and want stuff to be fixed as bad as they do. Same ole same if you been around long enough and yes, it is a big relief when it finally runs right for both parties.
Being a smaller company and not having the resources to properly test a product before releasing it might be a reason for needing this strategy. As time goes by things do get better but don't expect every little thing to be taken care of immediately. Some things you had (like undulating terrain)
might disappear forever and other things will replace it. (pretty water)
Just my opinion but Once everything is finally set to just about right, they will leave it run as is. It's a very delicate program and trying to change or add anything more in from that point could cause a whole nother mess of problems to pop up.
