There's no reason for studios to behave better when they get a bazillion pre-orders and games make a profit before they're even released. When that dynamic is in play there will always be an army of MBAs who point out that the purpose of the company is hyped releases and everything else is strictly secondary.
So to sum up, I agree. I won't be touching this until it's mature, stable, and on sale.
