This article and the comments on this thread run into the same problem as the "maps are broken!" arguments did - Apple's overall reputation is mistaken for its actual track record. They have always had their problems, as had other software developers, and everyone just selectively piles on something at some moment in time.

With the release of Letterpress, a spike in Game Center activity has brought about some talk about how it sucks/breaks easily, and thus Apple's overall QA is going down the toilet.

Criticism is healthy, but let's not forget that the past was not at all perfect or ideal.
