**** you, Crytek

Really.

It's not that your latest game, Crysis has screwed with my computer. It's not even that it lies--the game tells us it can run optimally on Very High and patch 1.1 fixes things so owners can now shoot stuff into the Chinese sunset.

No, it's that you've actually made money off me without deserving it. I've no idea how much work went into making photo-realistic graphics and open-ended gameplay and heroes in nanosuits, and how can I if the game keeps bloody crashing after 15 minutes?

The "****" here can be substituted for any degree of vehemence or, if the problem is somehow fixed, love. It's Crytek's choice, and since they already have my money...

Good thing I didn't resolve not to get pissed with game manufacturers. Because I'd have broken it long ago.
