The reason it isn't selling is because they did a Cr*p job on it, not because there isn't a community. The original IL-2 continued to sell even after FORGOTTEN BATTLES came out because it was a
GOOD game. CoD is a lousy game that's why it doesn't sell.
And to compound the error and build a sequel on top of the current trainwreck is no way to solve the financial problems the company is having. Yeah they might get a few one off sales to start, but if the problems which plague CoD are present in BoM, then its future isn't going to be any brighter.
It would have cost them a lot less to get down and actually fix the problems in CoD instead of devoting all their time to building a new Sim. Instead they allocated the major portion of their resources to building new aircraft, maps and objects, all of which are going to be operating in the same poorly coded game enviroment.
How stupid do they think the community is? Do they think we will continue to buy half finished games on the promise we will have a different cockpit to sit in, while neglecting to mention yeah, different cockpit, same old issues?
Sorry, don't see this as a viable business plan, and I don't plan to be a subscriber.
