'Game breaking' bugs are present in the first few days of most games, even full release ones- GTA games, for example. "I literally have to wait for fixes"- well, yes, it has been the norm with new games for over a decade that a sizeable part of the player base will have to do just that in the first days of a release. I can well remember the release of GTA 4 and the crashes etc. many people had.
Sure there are problems with the game, and there have long been various reasons for concern, but they DID release a 'day 1 patch', it's in your face as soon as you load up the launcher. Nor does it make sense that they would be trying to grab 'easy money' by spending the best part of a decade developing a game.
Good point; there is one, but rather confusingly it isn't in this Bannerlord section of the forum. I made a thread about it yesterday but it immediately got lost among all the bug report threads:
