A few ideas on why this game is dead online

[fritzwendel]

This isn't a flame thread, or a merciless bashing of the publisher, just a few thoughts on why the game has a small community.

1.) players waiting for the patch

2.) a BOATLOAD of excellent games are out right now(ahem, anyone heard of MW2?), and have players engaged in other fields of play.

3.) the lack of support for American planes(handling and selection of craft)

4.) limited online progress tracking(this is big to me; I like seeing my stats, unlock progress, and special challenges for XP rewards/rank. It has been done so well the last 3 years, why did this game drop the ball in this regard?


Please feel free to elaborate, or offer an opposing opinion. Just keep it civil so that people don't start whining. LOL.

(the silver lining is that the skies will fill up again. There is longevity in this game because it is the best the genre has to offer. New players will take to the skies as the game drops in price.)
