Thumbs up

I believe we all want a complete and competent BOB COD?

As a business person, I realize at some point the developer and distributor must evaluate their ongoing expense options vs. what are prospects for profitability. It's about making payroll and keeping people interested to do their best to finish the project profitably.

It is important for us to keep a positive attitude and convey that to Luthier and the devs.

The negative talk here, and on the internet just reinforces a negative outcome for the sim we have waited for over six years. It may be more in our power to enable the future of BOB COD than we realize.

Think about it

Much like the phone call above, $50 later and two months "on hold"...
Folks who have paid for the "sim" shouldn't have to pay for the mistake in
the premature release of this product...though many have. This "sim" is not going to make it. From the beginning it was deliberately misrepresented and sold and no where was it represented "as is"....which, two months later, it still is "as is".

If this is such a wonderful product?
Why wasn't it marketed in a professional manner?
Where is the "designee" to communicate with?
Where I come from....No Message is a Message.

So if patience and a kind word are the "key"?
How well did that work for the Madhoff investors?

Who ever is responsible for this "financial fiasco" and or the repair of it?
They/He/She or it....needs to speak up and speak honestly to all of us.
The longer the wait...the more likely this "sim" will fail.

The next three weeks will be the tell/tale.

Think about it
nearmiss, I am a business man as well and know that public perception is a very large part of product success or failure. I agree that CoD badly needs a strongly optimistic forum after the abysmal reviews it has received but the devs must work at this as much as the participants. In the absence of information the negatives will always end up on top since there's so much fodder. That's just a basic principle of consumer engagement.

Unfortunately, the state that CoD was released in means that the devs are playing catchup on community trust and respect. However, there could easily be a strong positive interaction between the devs and community that drove the forum toward the goal of fixing CoD. This could start with something as simple as updates about the status of the problems in Insuber's thread.

Why not? Yes, it takes time but given the circumstances and the requirement for a positive forum it should be a priority. And honestly, if you don't have time for one or two forum posts every day then you have much bigger problems; non-existent time management for one!
