[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 17588, member: 152"] Rejecting a game because it behaves badly when the user removes the memory card mid-access is about as sensible as saying my car stereo is no good because it can't play music properly if I forcibly remove the CD while it's trying to read it. I understand now from reading the old TCRs that it is technically correct for Microsoft to reject the update over this issue, but that does not make it sensible for it to do so. The issue does not cause file corruption nor does it even crash the game, affects only a tiny fraction of customers, and is easily recoverable if it does happen. Common sense would dictate that the issue needs fixed but not necessarily immediately, and that the update can be released in the meantime, perhaps with a notice to customers using memory cards to make sure the thing doesn't get knocked loose during play. And if Microsoft is this particular about such a minor issue, how in hell did Skyrim (and Oblivion before it) with its plethora of game-breaking bugs, several of which required no user stupidity and [I]did[/I] crash the game or lead to save state corruption, ever make it through? Did Bethesda get a pass just because it was Bethesda and Microsoft didn't want to stand in front of The Elder Scrolls train? [/QUOTE]
