BULLSHIT
1 C can tell us what is going on
as if they don't know about all the delays

and hello TO you as well --- nice little edit to let you know vulgarity and profanity will get you banned.

I would just try buying it from Just Flight. Lots of us in the US did that rite off the bat and even some have done it recently and it has been working and updating on steam with no issues. Good Luck :) Cheers

Hey you Americanos !

Dont complain. Seriously, I would have prefered waiting another 6 or 7 months instead of beeing cheated for my money with a f.....-up sim that is not even half finished on the release date ! ! !

It is still in the development process, and by no means you cant call it finished.
So better wait until you get something decent for your money.
Or would you prefer to be screwed like us Europeans who have been fooled as paying beta-testers for Ubisoft ?

I `d rather wait and play NFS-Shift2 in the meantime !

1C Company = Russia/Eastern Europe
Ubisoft = Western Europe, North America, Australia, etc...

1C is not going to spend time talking about delays in the American market when it is Ubisoft who are in charge of that and have all the info. 1C is a distributer/publisher, not the developer (even though they work very closely with them). Maddox Games are the devs, and they post on these forums which causes a little confusion over who whey are. Luthier might hint about delays, or reasons, but he will not outright say Who/What/Where/When/Why because that is not his job, and legally he is not allowed to leak that info. All info pertaining to the North American release is the sole responsibility of Ubisoft and to a lesser extent Steam since they are distributing the game here. If 1C were to make decisions and statements about the N. American release, they why bother having Ubisoft involved in the first place?

1C Company explaining why CloD is being delayed in the N. American Market would be like Apple America explaining why Chinese customers have to wait a month to get their iPhones. It doesn't work like that, and if it did there would be some royally pissed off people in Apple's Chinese dept.

@ Icewolf

UBI = Western Publisher
IC = Eastern Publisher
Steam = distributer
Maddox Games = Developer

Maddox games the Developer say they are working on the sim and the latest patches prove they are. I'm not sure what more they can say. Its almost impossible to give a definitive date on bug fixing and feature additions. The western release is delayed to provide a better product that will help avoid further bad publicity. UBI/IC/Steam/Maddox Games/Community want the sim to succeed, it will just take time and patience. The early eastern release made it possible to continue work on the sim for the benefit of all.

thanks guys for the informative replies

much appreciated and please excuse my bad french in a previous post.

I have to admit that I was highly annoyed when the North American Steam release date changed.
Steam is a really good way to buy games these days although I still appreciate owning a hard copy.
That being said, after I read about all of the bugs and bumps that needed to be ironed out in the sim, I was very glad that it was not ME who was pulling my hair out trying to get it to run properly.
I figure that by the time the July release comes around, or whenever it gets released, is doing me a favor.
Let me run the sim when the sim is running well.
