, 15:31, March 18, 2008some editorial advice
:::I have an article from January 2008 that states the game is fully patched to back up my position. You have reviews from almost a year and a half ago to back up your's. Who do you think has a more reliable source for the current version of the game? [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 11:15, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

As a professional [[computer programmer]], I can assure you that software releases tend to be buggy, especially when there is publication pressure. Computer game developers are usually under tremendous pressure to grab market sure, but a "pressured programmer" is a sloppy programmer. It takes time to get things right.
I'm sure there are many [[software bug]]s in "Left Behind". How fast these are being fixed, I have no idea. Whether free patches or [[service pack]]s are being given to customers, I also have no idea.
I suggest we divide the commentary on the game into two sections:
#the story line of the game
#technical issues
Various groups will have ideological reactions to the game's themes of [[tribulation]] and [[rapture]]. It's astonishing that a Jewish group would apparently defend a [[fundamentalist Christian]] idea, but if ADL says it's not [[anti-Semitic]] I got to go along with that: they set the bar very high.
I don't think we need to list all the technical issues, but I wouldn't mind a [[spinoff article]] called [[Technical issues in Left Behind]] or [[Technical issues in Eternal Forces]].
No need to fight over whether the patches are sufficient; just quote the various sources, perhaps in chronological order. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:31, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
