No.

If it was paid content from the start maybe but not now. I also have little faith that they would deliver.

A better poll is will you buy anything early (if at all from 1C) again...after pre-purchasing this atrocity... no. Thx for the last 10 years but for now it is uninstall and to the shelf of shame...

As it stands, NOOOOoooooOOOOOoo!

The game is apparently undergoing a ground-up renovation and maybe then I'll think about it, but as it stands right now? Not a chance.

When something goes wrong (like an unfinished buggy game being released) there are three ways to go about this communication wise, and companies have been doing this for years.

Stonewall: Don't release any info, keep everyone in the dark hope that your lack of communication will cause an information vacuum and result in the consumers not having anything to talk about. The idea behind this is that with no info, there is no discussion so other potential customers might buy the product.

Manage the Media: Release only the info you want. This is a "need to know" type deal and hopefully if you only say good things and act optimistic everyone will think that things are going ok and play along.

Open Communication: Let them know everything. Tell them that it's a broken product and show them what you are doing to rectify the situation. Ask for input and keep everyone up to date on your progress.

Right now Maddox Games is walking the line between the first two and pretending that they are actually doing the third. They're hoping that an "up-beat" sentence or two every month will keep everyone reassured and happy and that new customers will think that the solution is days away.

'm not a happy customer, and honestly I don't see this working out as well as I had hoped. I'm praying that the money lasts long enough to get things on track and that Luthier is the man to get this mess that Oleg derailed back on track.
