I notice your registration date is March 2012.

Your right it was no 'one person' but If you go back a year or so and read the posts you'll see that Maddox Games and 1C were placed under quite a significant amount of pressure from the community to release the game in whatever state it was in.

Things have quietend down round hear since the headdy days of early March 20-11!

Yep.The fine chaps at 1c were just about to put the last touches on the awesomenest combat flightsim evar when the pressure by the community forced them to release an unfinished, universally trashed piece of buggy entertainment software. That's exactly how I remember it. Dozens of threads with titles like "We don't care about FSAA!!" and "We don't worry about the performance, really!" basically littered the forum.

Be sure.

Community pressure would never make a developer release a game early they aren't that stupid. What would make them release it earlier is revenue. Why would you release a game that was half done due to community pressure? That wouldn't make any sense at all and would be bad for business on your part.

Maybe people have a short memory or they simply weren't around at the time, but i distinctly remember several members of this forum who were constantly asking for an end to development and a release.

Funny thing is, some of them were among the group of people who then complained the loudest because it was unfinished

Yes Sir, I will not misbehave if there is no patch. May I be excused. I would like to go to the toilet.

Just some preemptive fire extinguishing measures, that's all. If one knows in advance that one will get one's hand slapped, then one is more likely to keep said hand out of the proverbial cookie jar

Based on previous weeks, generally B6 has already let us know what is happening, generally when the update is late, either it isnt happening (which B6 is usually pretty good about telling us) or its a large update (lots of screenies) or a patch will be included...

Let's hope so mate. It's now Saturday here but I'm still hoping for the Friday update/patch.
Does that make sense?

Yeah, I agree with this, if there was any pressure, it was from the publisher or their own pocketbooks....
