...if AvP's multiplayer is as bad as alluded to. Only recently finished the main game (ridiculously short for £30) and my mate has the game now, so I've yet to really try the MP, but I will:

If it's as bad as it's made out to be, and Sega are refusing to patch it, I doubt I'll be buying any more games that they've taken anything to do with

I become increasingly glad that I have waited before buying this game with each passing day...

I'm even considering sending it back to Game and saying 'not fit for purpose' (if I don't like the MP), especially since I've completed what I primarily bought it for

Me too. I avoided this one.

I wonder what the impact will be on other programs from the same company? It could hamper the outcome of their next release. Many will be aware of the buggy release and will wait for a final review before even contemplating buying. Also will the stores get dumped with a lot of games for refunds, particularly now that a patch is not coming?
