This is really sad. Since when is telling a developer that if they don't fix certain parts of a game, that they won't buy a sequel a banworthy offense? As unpleasant as it might be for them to hear, it would seem like important info for them to know. Granted, some are more nasty than others, but it has gotten to the point where even a well constructed negative post is met with harsh responses provolking even more negative feelings.
Silence has never accomplished anything in this world. So lets face some facts:
:CLOD was one of the worst "perceived" flight sim launches in recent history
:Just about everyone said the same thing, tons of potential, but don't worry, they will fix it. To us in the flight sim world, that meant they will patch it.
:If 1C forces players to buy a sequel before fixing some fundemental things, they will lose customers...a lot of them. I'm not talking just about the "whiners" (as anyone who has a problem is labeled) I'm also talking about people that have never been on a forum and when seeing a sequel will just remember "CLOD never ran very good and was missing some stuff so I'll pass"
You may call me a whiner if you like, but the fact is I want CLOD to succeed. I took a quick flight an hour ago and the cockpits and feeling of flight is unrivaled IMO. As good as it is though, I will not purchase a sequel until a decent amount of things are fixed...it doesn't have to be near perfect, just better.
