- Maxis doesn't release bug fixes to registered users for free? Does this mean
- that if I buy a game from them that doesn't work properly, it will cost me
- an ADDITIONAL $25 every time a patch comes out? I hope not. I haven't
- purchased any Maxis software as of this time, and if this is true, I never
- will.
- Will someone please shed some light on this?
