What was the point of releasing PC game so early?

So tired of paying for incomplete, console dumb games. People giving Crytek and EA a pass are tools on this ground. It is inexcusable to produce such an incomplete product, have some damn pride in your work! Having SOME bugs is understandable, however purposefully releasing a large buggy, incomplete game just to say "we'll patch it later" is bullsh*t.
So many people are distracted by how new and shiney the game is they fail to see what acctualy has happened. You (and me) paid $60 bucks for a beta and another run of the mill console port.
Really there is nothing amazing about this game, graphics and gameplay are nice but not "OMG! THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!". It just isn't. Nothing on the level of Crysis that is for sure.
Crytek shot themselves in the foot by promising a lot and not delivering. To be honest I doubt any patch will save this game, it needs to be redone for the PC. The storyline is meh and doesn't mesh well with C1, the lack of destructible enviroment is rediculous (can't run over a light post in a heavy armored vehical what?!), while I understand the attempt to streamline suit functions...gameplay took a hit because of this and Speed and strength are just underwhelming.
EA is a company for console tool's and I am pretty much done with anything that has EA stamped on it. If more people would stop drinking the coolaid, EA would have to change their a** buisness model because they would be going broke.

I woulda been fine waiting abit longer to have this released but this is garbage compaired to crysis 1 and warhead like were talking about a game that had direct x 10 implemented 2 or 3 years ago and all this time later they launch crysis 2 with this garbage dx 9 i mean why the **** even bother releasing the game obviously with all the bugs and the big one for me the dx 11 not being implemented this game shoulda never been released to the pc gaming community yet. Whats even worse is they lied to there sponsors or didnt even tell them anything like invidia advertising dx 11 ready when obviously the dx 11 wasnt there so they got invidia looking like idiots too. Its a shame how companies now adays can stoop so low just for some extra cash.

Don't want to disappoint you but DX10 in Crysis was PR feature and almost pointless, cause modding community adds all its features to DX9 version of the game via modified shader config files.
