The Crystal Ball

Bottom line is: whatever 1C does about COD and the following games, if the community is not happy about it, if the forums are full of whiners, impatient and non forgiven clients, what would happen ? Whos to say what is acceptable or not in terms of quality and accuacy ? Whos to say what are reasonable amount of bugs at release ? Whos to say what are reasonnable time lines for fixes and patches until "majority satisfaction" is obtained ? What % of advertised features has to be garanteed at release ? Well, WE are the ones who decide. Not as individuals, but as a community. This time, the majority agreed that COD, at release, was a failure. Individually, we have different opnions about the future of COD and how and when and if it will be fixed.
1C has the ball. They have the best and worse clients of the genre. We live in symbiose . We can make those games a potentiel success if 1C delivers the goods. Now if they dont meet our expectations for a second time, I dare anyone to say its our community's fault.
