Steam is different. You're buying a digital game and don't own a physical product, the disc. I think I cut Steam a lot more slack because my 2500 dollar library has only cost me about 400 bucks though. Anyway, the big anti-consumer issue I have with MS is that even though you have that disc, they don't want you to be able to sell it. Digital purchases have always been this way though, on PC and every console that supports digital purchases.

Cut them some slack though. There's a lot of work going into a presentation demo that takes away from people actually working on the game, because they need to try to polish up a build to display. They're always unfinished games, and always going to be buggy. There's a lot of hope that something like this doesn't happen, but it does, and is nothing to be worried about this early.

If anything I'm more surprised that they made it F2P and didn't charge sixty bucks for the box. The downside is that a lot of F2P games end up being more expensive in the long run.
