It is quite disturbing that such popular game, made by such huge company would fail at lunch in such epic levels that it had to be remove from Steam altogether. One seriously disturbing fact is how they are still selling the DLC pack for it effectively showing why the main game was such fail. This DLC prioritizing crap needs to stop, I'm all for DLCs, really, and I don't mind buying them if I like the game enough and they are reasonably priced, but to rush up an incomplete game into selling stage so that they can work on DLCs is unforgiving. This is yet another example of why we need Steam refunds so that we can defend ourselves from publishers like that. I also blame Nvidia that in her anti-competition tactics it's been trying to suck up all the games she can so they can be optimized for Nvidia and perform better on them effectively creating a "console" like situation for PC gamers in which you 1st have to see for which brand of GPU the game is optimized for before anything.
HUGE amounts of kudos to Steam for the recently enforced return policy!

And this is not the only game: I hate to admit it, but I never finished DA: I, after the fourth failed attempt having to restart the game from the beginning, I gave up. Sounds like ports for PC ceased to be a priority for producers, focusing consoles only; perhaps due to excess of variables on a PC as too many versions of video drivers for example make all more time consuming and expensive.
On the other hand we have incredible games like The Witcher III: Wild Hunt that is fantastic and the best is that CD Projekt Red has released 16 DLCs for free! They won many points with the players, perhaps to leverage the sale of expansion, but indeed a masterstroke.

So sad to see this happening, could it be in the end we are going to end up having to go back to consoles because PC games will degrade to this? If this is happening to such huge titles then it can happen to ANY title. Any way I have been waiting for the Witcher 3 to go down in price so that I can buy it, but that doesn't seem to be happening, hell, I even bought the strategy guide preemptively! Excellent article! There is quite a few people in the Batman fan page I subscribed to that are in a stage of outrage about this epic Batman fail, and the name of the title makes it all that much worse. A lot of shattered dreams with that game, seems the future looks ugly for PC gamers.
