Such comments only succeed in highlighting your oblivious selfishness and greed; little do you realize that 70 EU is a massive investment for the (very few) young that wish to invest in this genre. I'll reserve any further words on this topic.

Quite frankly, if €70 is such a massive investment, maybe flightsims isn't for them. Flightsimming is probably the single most expensive pasttime there is in terms of computer-games, as it usually entails above-average hardware and rather expensive controls and extras (joysticks, throttles, TrackIR etc). Maybe my statement will label me as a babyboomer, but then again, that's the reality of the game. High-fidelity simming has NEVER been something that's inexpensive.

The members of these forums sitting up on their high-horses are what you could almost call suffering from Stockholm syndrome- you're blindly in love with the very ones who are shafting you a new one.

If you bothered to look, there's quite a few of us that are quite realistic about how things are. I'd say that the rabid fanboys are a minority, yet a very vocal one. When you're walking in a forest, don't be suprised that the falling trees are the one you notice best due to the noise.

Interesting word, theft. Let's see what a quick definition of that word is, shall we?

1
a : the act of stealing; specifically : the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it
b : an unlawful taking (as by embezzlement or burglary) of property

Now, I don't know about you, but I willingly paid for CLoD. And while I'll admit to expecting a playable product (which it is for me now, but was damn near unplayable at launch), in no way, shape or form did 1C or anyone steal the money from me, or unlawfully take it. So accusing them for theft when they merely sold a bad product is rather silly, don't you think? Then again, it's probably all semantics, anyway.

The point is that if you stick your head out here in the way that some have done through excessive whines, rants and threats, they will get their foreheads stamped. Just as those rabid fanboys will. Neither side is any better or worse than the other.
