Very true.... I think the biggest problem, though, is that 1C are then faced with a choice:

They can say "Sorry... we made a massive mistake! Printing error!" and then face the fireworks.

Or.

They can disappoint an enormous amount of players, face the possibility that anyone who may still be considering purchasing CloD will say "I didn't buy the latest technology to waste my time on this!" and not buy it at all...etc...etc...

I know which one I would choose.

When have the system specs ever been 100% honest on the box of PC games? (Let's be honest with ourselves here!)

Any game, no matter how stable, has at least a few posts on their forum from, understandably, disgruntled people who bought a piece of software that stated they should be able to run it and yet what they really got was a slide show or, worse, didn't even get past the install stage because their systems were just too old..... but the majority will sing its praises because the majority, with the up to date hardware, are having a great time all the time.

You could even refund the poor guys who insist on sticking with DX9! Can't afford it? Think.... if the news was out that CloD is fixed and is the most amazing simulator ever created in the history of mankind... that's a ton of cash heading your way from a whole load of DX10/11 users out there.

Just sayin'

I'd suggest it would as it would be on the same engine... I'm just hoping and praying to every single one of the gods that this DX9 issue is actually fixed, and therefore not an issue, before any later additions are released. The team have promised to fix this game before releasing anything else in the series so.... let's hope they stick to that. lol

If I was a gambling man, I'd say DX9 support wont be listed on the box of the next release

I wonder if it is wise to keep the large majority of users waiting in order to satisfy the small minority who still uses DX9 ...
