How are sales going?
 
Just wondering how sales are going. I see the game is ranked 4,200 something on Amazon. Not to good. Probably no real way to know. I bought my copy to help out. Have not gotten it yet. Anyone with info please share.

where did you get the amazon stats from?

Hopefully the sales are bad. That would do the game justice.

Yup was thinking the same.

The game works just fine and is very enjoyable to a lot of people.

If it isn't working well for you that's unfortunate, but it will become better.
And if you people are fans of flight sims you are doing yourself a disservice wishing that CloD sells badly.
And if you don't care, why are even you here?

Sales figures are usually not something that are revealed, I doubt you'd find anyone that knows and will tell you.

Clod has fallen out of the top 100 Steam games.

I do not feel that the North American release added much.Because of the delays most that wanted the game got it from UK d/l sites.Thus there were not that many left in the unbought pool to buy it when it was released.

The most I have seen at any one time on the multiplayer servers was 68 for all the servers combined.If 5% of the buyers are online players that does not bode well.

I do expect sales to keep trickling in as time goes by.The game has only been out in the West since April.

These are personal opinions and I have no facts to back up my feelings.

Yes, it doesn't feel like the game has sold very much, but then again, simulations seldom do.
I believe however that as patches are released and the sim becomes more and more complete sales will start to increase.
The IL-2 fanbase should be quite large but many of them likely haven't picked up CloD yet due to either getting an (IMO false) impression that it is not an enjoyable product, or they are simply waiting for another part in the series.

Sadly this type of Simulation doesn't, but "The Sims" sold really well :(

Nah. Actually the game has too many bugs and people that wanted the game know that. Il-2 community is rather big. Few of them switched over to COD, simply because they don't want the hassle.

If the game worked right when it was released, you would see 600 people online every day, not 20.
I like Cliffs of Dover, I play and suport it since the day it came in Europe, but saying "the game works just fine" is just baloney.
