Please, we are spoiled with errata. Few other people do it, and it's not like there has been much that actually errata has been needed for. Most of the mistakes are really simple to figure out. And everything else has been asked and answered.
Spoiled because few other people do it?
You can't be serious!
If a game has errors, I want them cleared up. And most companies
I buy games from tend to do that, too:
GURPS has probably the best errata in existence; everything they find/are informed about is put on the web soon thereafter -
not only after compiling everything they can for a book.
Exalted errata is updated frequently - and before it's put on the web, the developer himself mentions it on their message boards more often than not.
Most other WW games don't need much in the way of errata, though, since few books apart from the core rulebooks are "heavy" in the way of mechanics - and a misspelled word somewhere is usually less problematic than a misspelled game mechanic. They generally make errata available when they find them.
Minor quibble: After having been made available (in discussion lists or boards or wherever), the errata aren't usually put on their site; instead, you'll have to ask on WW's message boards for them (admittedly, you'll get a quick answer in most cases, but still).
The largest German RPG, Das Schwarze Auge, gets errata shortly after a book has been released; this is then updated when and if necessary (which is seldom, given that they're very thorough with that kind of thing).
Hell on Earth gets detailed errata, too. (Not that I really play it, but still.
)
(etc.)
So tell me: Which games do you play that don't get errata?
Heh. As for me: Not (m)any.
