A BoM demo for ClOD users

[SlipBall]

I for one will not be expecting a demo for BOM. I'm very much looking forward to the release though. I really don't think that pre-orders matter very much to them either, so I won't bother to do so. The shots of the Russian map that we viewed where beautiful to me. Smolensk, Kiev unknown but they looked great!!...as a side note, yesterday I realized that the individual land vehicles are capable of speed adjustment. This should be very useful for historical mission design

But miracles still happen... xD

Just my two (€) Cents

You got something very wrong about inflation. 100 DM or 50 EUR from 1997 would equal 75 EUR today. CloDs collector edition (with printed manual, pilot's notes and map) was sold for 69.90 EUR by amazon.de at time of release.

And next to this; 10-15 years ago we did not pay DM100,00 DM for a game. They were about DM 45,00 which is about € 22,73 today....but this something we should better not reflect.

No, the only difference is; 15 years ago a game worked fine right from the beginning. 10 years ago we got demos and a game was patched once, maybe twice.

Today, we receive no demo, bugged and unfinished produtcs, lousy support and rallying calls to buy sequels....for about € 50,00 or DM 100,00.

That's the point !

This needs to be highlighted.

There are too many people on here for whom the developers can do no wrong, or no right.

A demo is a good idea to let everyone try for themselves.

A demo ? I assume, no I'm sure that IL2 CLOD customers will receive a free copy of the sequel to download in order to fix the defective product.

Or does Luthier really expect that we do a blind bargain again? No, he can't be that naive.

As I can not see anything negative about a free BoM-Demo, I would say: Yes, this would be a good thing....

I own the CloD Collectors Edition. When/if BoM is released I'll try the "torrent demo" first, fool me once etc etc.

In years to come this game will hopefully have been refined to a thing of great beauty.
I am willing to invest just a little on that hope.
