Please be careful. There has already been a thread about this by a friend of mine, who got banned for four after posting this.

Perhaps he would have been better off by saying that it was not meant a s a warning, but as an information how magazines write sometimes.

My opinion: The devs are well aware of the problem, and are working very hard. And I am confident that the patch will soon clear things out, and we will all have a sh**load of fun with this sim.

The words in Gamestar magazine are a bit too harsh in my opinion.

Gamestar is the biggest PC-Gaming Mag. in Germany.
Yes, they made a purchase warning for CoD in it's current state.

If 1C dislikes that, they should sue Gamestar and not start banning forum members for relaying information.

It's not your friends fault.

yes, a purchase warning for CoD in the biggest german gaming mag is serious...
This is a brand for this sim.... very sad
for the small flight- sim- community...

I regard that as a big, fat warning shot to UBIsoft. Sure, the ones to blame may or may not be multiple parties, but UBI just shouldn't mess with developer's agendas (Epilepsy filter, Steam and such).
I just happen to hate those 'publishing' companies... they have done so much damage to developer studios (thinking of EA, too) it's not even funny. It should be more like in book publishing... aside from designing the title and caring about ortographic errors, publishers shouldn't mess around (Yea, I know, from time to time, you hear about 'black sheep' there, too).

Unfortunately, the developer team will also be drawn into this to a certain extent

Well, let's just hope for the best, that Maddox Games will 'patch' things up and more positive reviews start coming in - so that we don't have to worry that much about the future of the Il-2 line.

Banned because he posted a link to a review ? That's like shooting the messenger. It wont change the fact that people can build themselves their own opinion on a product, what's not necessarily allowed here.

And sueeing Gamestar won't do the trick either as well as 1C cannot prove that their review is biased and based on bad faith. Which is not.

in 2011 it's not a good idea to do that...

Also the previous thread was deleted. Not locked, deleted...

Critical views are not really popular around here. Better write a "thank you dear devs, it's sooo awesome!!!" quickly.

actually the threads were more likely deleted because they just beacame bloated with pointless bickering

If you look at the forum, you'll see a lot of threads with different complains, we delete only pointless threads, duplicate ones and the ones with rude content. If your words were right, then half of the forum will be deleted and same amount of members be banned.
