The first time I felt I was robbed with Cliffs of Dover, was when they released the last patch.

Up until that point the game had some elements unmatched in any other game. No other sim had such a beautiful lighting engine. I was getting the worth of my money just flying around at sunset.
They had artistically impared programers, that spent too much time in the basement, "fix" the looks of something created and calibrated by a proffesional photograper.
This last patch robbed me of most of the fun I had with Cliffs of Dover.
