Please fix the game already.

^ This obvious idea was put forward by Gee, checkmate, panic-mongers.

If Savitar's proposed idea is taken to its extreme, the community would switch to some "stable version" from the past while waiting for the bugs in the new versions to be fixed.
But how will a new stable version appear if no one plays the latest versions and the bugs don't surface?
It simply won't be brought to completion, and the development process will just stop.
