I think a lot of us grasp this concept just fine. I just think most of us don't care any more. Right now, we don't have a working sim and a vaporware sequel. If they go out of business, we'll still have a broken sim and no sequel. Status quo.

If they go out of business it's their own fault. It's not the community's responsibility to keep them afloat financially. It's MG's responsibility to deliver a product that is worth paying for, and to keep themselves afloat. So far, they have failed miserably to do that. The abysmal state of CoD has already used up all MG's good will, and if the sequel isn't stellar then I won't be purchasing.

if you (and the others here) like flight sims ? want a chance to ever get a decent next gen ww2 flight sim ?[B]

You're acting like if MG goes under then WW2 flight sims will end forever. This is demonstrably false. DCS could release a 190-D to fight against their P-51D and I'd wager 70% of the community would be happy with that.
