b) You are killing the entire combat flight sim genre.

Doggles, i have never given this sim a 5/5 review, and still wouldn't. But now it is enjoyable enough for me to come back in and actually have fun with it, which I was not doing before.

And yes, I do think that the angry mob nature of handling issues, and the total lack of the most basic politeness when talking about issues is one of the reasons why the genre is fading away. The folks gazing bleary eyed at their monitors while typing millions of lines of code are human beings. They are not faceless gears in a monolithic money machine. They have feelings, and fears, and by and large work pretty damned hard and I totally understand why they would not bother to come here and be constantly bashed by a bunch of middle aged guys acting like 13 year old playground bullies.

If I had the money it took to back a virtual experience project like a computer game, I tell you I'd think long and hard before I chose a combat flight sim as the project of choice, even though I love the genre, and military aviation generally.

Why put up with a number of people who don't play the sim, who have repeatedly expressed that they don't like it, won't buy anything else from that team, and continue to bash a dead horse?
