Absolutely Ridiculous

They did more than add mounts and shit. They rebuilt the engine entirely. People tend to forget that they practically made a new game because it doesn't seem that different on the outside. That's why the "It's a RE-launch" arguments for why this game should be running flawlessly are moot. You build a new office building...there's bugs in the electrical system, a few doors stick, a toilet or two backs up. A couple of months in there's a critical flaw found in the building's framework or worse there's a fire. The building has to be torn down to foundations and rebuilt. You use relatively the same blueprints to rebuild on top of the old foundations but it's still once again a new building and you're going to have to AGAIN work out electrical bugs and backed up toilets and sticky doors.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but that is just an absolute horrible comparison. The company that built the first building would be sued, lose licences, and be out of business. Let me make another horrible comparison, when I buy a new car, the first year of the model, I can expect the wheels to wobble, my lights to flicker, and the engine to stall, because you know, it's new and all.

Sorry, but from Beta 4 till now they did not entirley re-build the game.
