Another thing to consider is the market share of this Sim and that ATI has in High-End Computer gaming. This is a nice product, in a niche genre, on a niche platform. From a business point of view it wouldn't be worth ATI's time to do anything to resolve this issues since this game is less than a drop in the bucket and is only affected by on line of their products (69XX cards).
Now if there was a problem with Battlefield III, World of Warcraft, Fallout3/Skyrim or any other A+++ title, you could bet your house that they would make any issue a top priority. Considering the alleged poor sales of this game, they probably wouldn't even recoup their losses in assigning someone to fix the issue even if a new graphics engine wasn't on the way.
In short, why bother when it really doesn't benefit you? Even if Clod sales were two or three times what they were, it's hard to say if they'd deem it necessary to fix. It's all about the $'s with these people, because that's what they're in the business for.
