Heh, heh, I think it's more of a general pc game developer/publisher thing 
to have poorly realized software....not something specific to eastern 
Europe.

Obscure eastern european developers trying to get their product out to a 
broader market probably have to go with whatever publisher they can get.

One thing I'll say for the east euros is that they're innovative.  The folks 
in the west seem to be endlessly remaking the same 3 or 4 games.....with 
better graphics.
