I can't really argue with that. I bought Fallout NV knowing it was going to have the exact same problems and bugs that Fallout 3 had, and that I would love it anyway. But then, I went in with my eyes open, knowing what I was getting into, but also that the modding community on the PC would improve the situation a lot. I had to use a mod just to overcome the game's horrible 32-bit based RAM usage, for example.
So, yeah, I can't blame anyone who had little experience with Bethesda for being angry with what they got. I can't blame anyone who believed what Bethesda said about the PS3 version being equal. The blame goes completely on Bethesda. They are responsible.
I think it will be a shame if people are so wary of Bethesda that they avoid games that are simply published by them, but again, that goes on Bethesda's head. Most people don't understand how game publishing and development work. This situation has probably cost Bethesda a lot of future profit, but I can't say I feel bad for them. Rather than hurting them as a company, however, I hope it instead pushes them to be more responsible to their customers.
