If you played IL2 and know anything about that process, you wouldn't be crying like 4 year old girls right now. Trust me good things come to those who wait.

Idiotic remark.

When I spend money on something I expect to be able to play it especially when my rig beats the system requirements hands down.

I would love to see your face if someone sold you a car and then told you he will fix the engine in 6 months.

Well the car company would fix the car because it's under warrenty, just as 1c will continue to improve/fix this sim as they have been doing already.

How about instead of using some car sale analogy you compare it to what it is, a piece of software with ongoing development. Did you really expect it to work perfectly for everybody on day one? Look at some other examples of games being realeased and left in their buggy state forever. Some people here actually want an apology for 1c releasing this amazing sim, it's amost hilarious.

Ummmm... perhaps not "perfectly" but it's not unreasonable to have expected it to work for more than 80% of customers with 90% of the functionality advertised. I'm a great supporter of 1C but I don't think anybody can argue that CloD was nowhere near that bar at release, nor is it near that bar now though it's getting closer.

To suggest that because many other developers release buggy and/or incomplete software makes it an acceptable practice is a self-evidently absurd argument.

That said, I'll restate my position that thus far 1C is doing a good job at correcting a lousy situation.

I'm not saying that it makes it acceptable, but any software ever realeased will have bugs, the amount of bugs will depend on many factors, complexity of software, timescale, funds etc. Everyone here knew the game would always be a WIP. They're doing there best to improve it yet people always want more.

I'm glad it's realeased and it's the best sim out there so that's why i'm not complaining. The sim lives up to my expectations and with time, probably most of the people on these forums expectations too.

For your analogy to actually work, we would have to be talking about the last car on Earth, and only by paying this person for the car could we ever drive at all.

It this case the only sensible answer to "It will be fixed in 6 months." is "well, ok then."
