I am gob smacked. We paid to alpha test your game and we have to pay again for the next update! Omg. You won't mug me off again. Good luck with it. Your gona need it. You have now killed, totally killed your customer base. I will now be demanding my money back.

What I am curious about , he stated after the next milestone(sequel) is submitted and accepted, then they would come back to finish the patch for CLOD.
I wonder how long we are talking here?

Well probably another 18 months or so.

call me a sychophantic fanboy if you like but I think the 'milestone' is an internal development target and not something that concerns the wider public.

Look at the ' milestone' as a payment schedule. If 1C were to miss this target date or the work does not meet the quality standards, no payment is made to 1C. They than need to tap their line of credit to pay their employees, assuming they have acess to a line of credit.

I really do not understand how this project is managed : as it is confessed, few of them were working on Cliffs last months but till the last beta patch they regain some customers who would certainly jump in buying the sequel if.... they do not hear : "Sorry guys, we messed the job... ahem... please do not forget to buy the sequel in two or three years..." but "Sorry, we messed the job but we do not let you down, we keep one or two devs on part time work to fix the most crying bugs till the sequel is out".
Incredible to give up that after 18 months of investment and it is starting to pay NOW !
Hope you get the feeling, english is not my natural language.

we are called Beta testers, your a customer if you purchase the mythical sequel. I move to rename Cliffs of Dover, the new Forgotten Battle.
