Very well said Chivas, let's hope people listen to your wise words.

Atleast now there is enough monies generated to keep Luthier and team in business, hopefully long after the US release. Although I think the sales numbers of the US release will have to be strong to warrant further work on the sim. If the developer can weather this storm we should be seeing patches and new theaters for many more years.

That is exactly the case. I know I would hold off if such info broke loose. I did exactly that with the epilepsy filter which was my no 1 complaint. It went away. Now when I bought the game it was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as many whiners were saying. Still playable to a satisying degree. Few weeks later the fps doubled and I was able to go sightseeing. It was a fair deal from the start.

Gamers are like voters in that the majority of them have very short memories. If the issues in this game can be successfully addressed a year or two down the line it will be a popular title.

My interest is in whether the current development team has the legs in it to impliment those necessary fixes and refinements or whether it will be the modding community who ultimately do it.

I know that as it stands I can't fly CoD with my squad mates online (we have limited times to fly and people who don't have uber PC's so have decided not to take up CoD as a squad). As I have neither the knowledge or the time to learn the FMB the current available offline content is very limited. I lost my pitchfork ages ago so its a case of wait or.....well....wait.

I have a good deal of symapathy for Luthier and crew. With the best of intentions they created a (powerful) Frankenstein's monster and its chasing them round the countryside now.
