I think the best thing is to enjoy what we have, ane accept anything more as a bonus. Why give up the fun now in hopes that the future will be better? Live and enjoy what is, and you will at least have the moment, wait and complain and you may have nothing more than empty hopes.

I would argue with this logic. Ever since the internet and consoles were mated it seems as if every developer instantly took on the attitude that they can release flawed games and "fix it later". This attitude is pretty clear when you consider the crap that has been released only to be fixed later and especially in the "extra content" they make you pay for.
You are correct in saying the internet has spoiled the consumer,
but it has spoiled the developer 10 times more. This crap didn't exist back in the days of original Nintendo, Sega Genesis, PS, N64. A game was crap or it wasn't; there was no "it will be patched, just wait" grey area. On the other side, games like MW that get patched immediately spoil the consumers into thinking that everything should be fixed in 2 weeks. It doesn't happen that way. I have given this game almost 5 months and that is a bit ridiculous in this age. The game should have been released properly or fixed immediately. Neither happened and people have a right to gripe.
I still enjoy and play this game, I subscribed to XBox live for this game only. However it takes a special kind of person to keep at this game with the flaws that exist. Some hardcore flight sim guys are absent because of the cockpit, brake, and other issues. Some score-oriented players are gone because of the multiplayer scoring issue.
You can't put all the blame on "spoiled players", the internet-ready console has spoiled the developers far more.
