I think there should be a discount, even if it is just £5-10 or 10%. It is possible to do this in steam, STALKER did it by checking if your steam account owns an earlier one then giving you coupons. Since it is a steam game this would be possible for BoM and I think it should happen though I realise it is unlikely.

Do you get any discount on Cod, Arma, MW?
No.

I mean seriously, our equipment needed for this hobby is in the 4digit range - an you complain about 5quid?

As way of an apology to the fans that were let down and the fact that to be perfectly honest CloD support is being dropped before the product is finalised. Obviously it depends on the final patch but if they leave CloD with many broken features (such as AI and sound amongst other bugs, like revered mixture) then say that unless you buy the sequel these wont be fixed then the people who bought CloD from day one deserve easier access to updates that will fix the game.

This from someone who has been very supportive of CloD throughout. Another option would be to continue with sequel and retro fit patches to CloD but leave additional features out- that way those who pay for the finished product get it whilst those who pay for new features get those on top. As I said, this is all dependant on the quality of the last patch.

CoD comes out from and AAA developer and gets is bugs fixed. ARMA 2 has beta patch support daily and is being supported over 3 years later with these patches. Also, ARMA 2 base game gets patches despite the appearance of AMRA2:OA. That is what I think should happen with CloD as I stated above.

+1 FS~Phat's sentiment.

I just want good flight simulations. CloD fell short so far.. but at least there is still some hope.

I looked forward to Clod when purchasing 1946 & looking at the preview disc for Clod.

Yes, I was disapointed with it, but that was due to my system specs - thought I had something was would cover the minimum specs. However upgrading to Window 7 (64 bit) has meant I can fly over London on medium settings without it now freezing.

Now it doesn't freeze I can shoot down planes to my hearts content, so I'm now happy.

I'm sure that once I've upgraded my RAM, once it comes down to a sensible price & also upgraded my graphics card, then I cn run it on the higher settings, but in the meantime, as mentioned before, I'm happy.

My only problem is that there aren't any Windows 7 driver for my Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold joystick that has served me well over the years & has plenty more life in it yet.

Why should a business succeed when they fail at making a product? If a diner served horrible food, but the owner kept promising it will get better soon, and it doesnt, how long will it stay in business?

Sorry, no love loss here. When I want to donate, it goes to a charity, not to a team that cannot make (or fix) a product released over a year ago.

Everyone has opinions, and if you feel the need to support them, its your choice. I dont agree with it, but I also know I dont control anyone eles way of thinking.

I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the state of mind of people thinking they the devs are doing a good thing. How is a crappy product that never reached its potential, features left out, buggy, with plans to end support for it, and then annouce a sequal be good? First product was crap, how about a second? Boggles the mind.

I look forward to seeing you flying over virtual Russia.

This will be the only thing you will see flying over the " Virtual Russia " based on their past business conduct after releasing Clod.

I understand your sentiment, and would agree if Maddox Games was a local tyre shop doing crap work.

However, they are the only company attempting to create a WWII simulation. The ONLY ONE that is trying to cater for my wants in a simulation. They have failed thus far, but only just, CloD and any sequel has potential, that can't be denied. They deserve support simply because they are the ONLY ONE.. crazy as it is!

Fair enough and thanks for the update team.
