9 times out of 10 you'd be right. Cheap games have a cheap production cycle. Which in other words means the game was either rushed out the door half finished, or had such a flimsy design in the first place it didn't take to long to complete.
I believe the main consumers of such games are corporate tools who want to have some fun with the company laptop or the guy who's just bought his very first PC from the local department store.

not all budget games are bad. thief 2, baldurs gate 1/2, planetscape torment, giants, theres quite a few good ones, and being unemployed its easier to get them on budget

Whoops I did forget about the old games that are in the bargain bins, you can find some real gems in there. They are actually great to buy if you have missed a couple of groundbreakers, I picked up Deus Ex and Half Life from bargain bins.

Is it just me or Arcon is starting to sound like Zeratural with his anti-capitallism and warez talk?

BS. You'll sell out faster than a McDonalds next to a fat camp. (Wow, that was horribly insensitive of me) Btw, can I be on your dev team?

@Tach: be insensitive, i think i made my opinions of FAT people rather clear. and YES you can be on my dev team...erm, what do you do?

I'll count the money, design the game, and make starfields + 2D planets for backgrounds in the game.
