Heh. Many people want to have the "final" game, no matter how long it takes. I, personally, want the game as soon as it is playable. While bugs do suck, I would rather have played the game than to not have it. I thought the same with Tribes 2. Sure, these games have had bugs (and big ones), but looking back, what else would I have played? About the only other game getting any kind of action is BF1942 (Desert Combat mod). I'm thankful I have the game.

If Chris had stay on I believe we might not even see Freelancer at all since he seems to be somewhat of a perfectionist.Although I believe we might have seen a more complete scenerio of the game if he had stay on in terms of how he envisioned it,since he is the creator.Some of the upgrade equipment that aren't available in the game shows how complex the game really was or at least was meant to be.
