Let's end it here with these scientific facts:

1. A large majority would get a certain amount of pleasure from reading updates on weekly basis (99,2%)
   
2. That request for communication with patches has been posted in these forums many times (41 threads, 2900 posts) and most of the threads (89%) have turned into flame wars
   
3. The likelihood of impacting the dev team's frequency of updates with threads that turn sour is minimal (0,02%)
   
4. The likelihood of raising bad spirit with those threads are huge (99,92%) as people are so tense these days

So do me and resf of humanity a favor: Stop posting them! They're good for no-one! Except virtual forum war-mongers of-course, but who gives a funk about them?!

well said sir, well said

Yes, 100% spot on!

I always get pictures from my car mechanics working on my car. Also cars are such commodities that they are initially released with a lot of issues then the owners are provided with fixing kits (patches, you know) which they install at home to their cars. Also a flight-sim, just like my car is a very critical piece of equipment which I need on daily basis or it will be almost impossible to manage my mandatory responsibilities.

Oh wait a sec.. it's nothing like that afterall!

Maybe its the sports car you want to use at the weekend after working hard all week, you have spent lots of funds to get it to work, paid for a very nice garage to keep it in.
Then when you want to use it for a few hours on a sunday.....

fortunately now all the sports car sold come with a country/banjo+violin cd collection, EXACTLY what we needed while waiting in the emergency lane for the tow truck..

How is that old song? "You can't always get what you want..."

lol well that's what i get for thinking i could get away with not being hyper specific and assuming that people would understand that I meant the emotion that you feel in that situation is identical and not the exact amount of money spent or such nonsense

just in case there is now a mega ban clause for not being specific enough i better cover my john brown hind part........

My apologies for anyone i confused with my previous statement. I in no way shape or form meant to infer that this game costs as much as an automobile and I also am under no impression that this video game is required for use during normal non gaming daily activities such as but not limited too.......

Going to work,
taking your kids to school,
going to the food mart to pick up food to feed your children,
taking a loved one to the hospital,
picking up your uncle from jail after his parole was granted,
going out on the neighborhood watch when its your turn,
taking food to feed orphans,
taking orphans to there new homes when there bus breaks,

or any other activity that i did not mention above but that also involves driving a car and not playing a video game that simulates flying of WWII aircraft during the years between 1940 and 1945.

Again I apologize for not specifically noting in my earlier statement that I thought Sternjaeger II's statement was completely accurate because to me the emotion that one would feel in the situation described by Sternjaeger II (in my opinion) would likely be of the same type of emotion as a person in the same situation with any purchased product.

I did not mean to draw a connection between playing a video game and actually operating a motor vehicle especially one that is required to do so many things just to keep a family alive and well.

Please forgive my attempt at a SUBTLE humorous exchange and I truly hope that if any offense was taken or confusion caused, that you will again except my most deeply heartfelt sincere and honestly humble apologies for this was not nor ever will be my intention while posting on this forum.

I will strive to better explain in the greatest detail possible all future posts.



oh and my lawyer suggested I add this too ......

Well the attempt at the analogy was such an epic failure in accuracy that I'm not sure if I can let fans of it go without a legal hearing.

But should the community change the whino-fan wars' subject from crying over clod into debate which analogy describes the current situation best, I'm ready to reconsider my stand on legal activities.
