When Ultima IX first come out was the best example of software companies that disregard consumer rights, it was a buggy game, with ridiculous system requirements, and was IMPOSSIBLE to solve in his original release.
Just 2 weeks after the game come out Origin and Richard Garriot where apologizing in every game magazine i can think of, and the forums of the gamesite had only complains, a month after release the patches start coming out, a little fix here and there.
But most people already had unistall the game and buried the CD, we all wanted to forget about this joke of a game that use one of the most respected names on RPG's for computers.
You can even tell this was the beginning of the end for Origins, but that is another story, one that end in fire...
