My point was (if not infered) was that many people spent more time telling other people that they dont like the sim or its unplayable than actualy playing it(or building a proper pc so they can). The quote above is another example.
Trust me, just cause somebody claims they purchased the sim is far from supporting it or its genre.

If somebody buys a game and finds that it's rubbish, they are perfectly correct in warning others before they waste their time and money on it, "trust me", that's how the market works.
Personally, I waited so long for the IL2 sequel, and wanted it to be everything that was promised. For eighteen months I tried getting it to work through a number of hardware upgrades and it was entirely unplayable, but eventually I was in a position to build a new system that I knew would be able to run it so I would be able to finally enjoy the game. Sadly, it just doesn't have anything in it that keeps me wanting to play it.
Certainly, it has _some_ very cool touches, but for me there's zero immersion or gameplay value.
Yes, it may well have developed into something even half as good as IL2, but any game can only do that from a solid base that keeps people playing it to begin with.
Does anybody know how many people bought CloD and how many people are still actually playing it? What percentage of purchasers were/are actually able to run it in a playable state?
Over-stating the qualities of the game is also not supporting it, all that does is entice more people to buy it resulting in even more disappointed customers sharing their poor opinions of it.
