Friday Official Update, July 27, 2012

[LOPAN]

I had some momentary good enjoyment but It halted when I got acquainted with the campaign system (which is very rudimentary) and by a "bug" that prevented me from progressing further (enemy bombers when shot, "land" over the ocean and remains floating there, and the game doesn't recognize it as a kill).

I read somewhere they are planning a sequel. How can that be if they are already failing to fix the current product (that took many years to be made)? Games are supported on trust developed between creators and customers. Would you buy a product from a creator that sold a crude product and failed to fix it 1.5 year after its release?

You got potential, good developers, but I think you should review your internal processes and hire a new project manager.

Hi, I'm back to my work. As you understand, the patch is not ready yet. We are working on. If it was ready on Monday or Tuesday, it would be released without my participation, don't worry.

Who is worrying? Ah, yes, those guys who constantly profess their disgust with the sim, yet cannot seem to tear themselves away from it... - It is a love story, I tell you!

For the people that have done this....I applaud them for taking the time to try and find workarounds for this mess...but time isn't a luxury all of us have. If 1C was up front and marketed this as a "buy in Beta program" then you might have a better point. Telling us to be good little lemmings and just take it in the shorts for the $50 to $70 isn't gonna fly with everyone. People are frustrated...and have every right to be IMO.

I do have a point. We are not developers. We do this for free and other people may benefit from it. So their choices are to either help us, let us do our volunteer job, or "take it in the shorts" as you so eloquently put it.
Messing up the main medium of community communication is not letting us do our job, it's sabotaging it. Maybe some people do want to "take it in the shorts" and that's why they try to hinder us so much
