This does not work. The economic incentives are biased towards fast releases of mediocre software. Whoever delivers faster and cheaper tends to win. Quality is detrimental to the business. Good software does not require support. Paid support earns money. An initial release that is stuffed with features takes longer to develop (the competition gets the customers) and has fewer incentives for later upgrades (less income after initial release). Software cannot really improve unless quality standards become mandatory. The liability disclaimer should go. Engineers don't get a free pass if their products don't work. Why should software be treated differently?
