To be financially successfull a wwii sim, with the usually in this forum expected detail level, would need about 2$ for a ground object, 50$ for a map and 50$ for each more complicated model (plane or ship).
When i see the emotions running high for spending 15$ - to 70$ for a whole packet, i really can't see any customers for that.

I was not aware 777 is close to being bankrupt. I'm not talking about a full blown WW2 sim from them. All they have to do is start selling WW2 aircraft.
Begin with a base package. Map and 2 or 4 adversary aircraft. Even the current France maps could be used. I would have no problem spending 10-15 bucks for a high quality WW2 fighter for RoF. I still expect 1C to deliver the goods at some point though. Just not sitting on the edge of my seat anymore.

Wow. That's a new one to me. Has there been any word about this somewhere or just speculation?

Nobody posts around here because literally most people that post have been banned.

2012 is the crunch year for RoF. Apart from the financial side, it looks like the constant sniping and complaints are damaging them.
Some people should take note of what Jason says in those posts, about a lot of things...

I've been in business for 25 years now, and I would not be offended if some of my clients would be a bit annoyed if I would have sell them someting half broken, then promise to fix it soon, then tell them the fix is on the ice, and further nore, not telling them why we've stopped, and when we will resume the work ....
I dont know if my thread will be again removed, but I think my comment is
not a whining, but rather a response to BlackSix's incomprehensible situation.
SAlute !

You sir are an enemy of this sim and a whiner!


sarcasm off


time will tell what will be....

Based on this forum.. The biggest problem with CoD is not what was promised and not delivered, but what the community 'believes' was promised and not delivered. Combined that with people unrealistic 'expectations' and 3rd party 'hype' of what should have been delivered and it is easy to see why these types of people are so upset and even feel cheated.

The only cure for this feeling of being cheated is for these types of people is to take the time and list all the things they 'belive' they were promised and compare that list to what was 'actually' promised by 1C (i.e. listed on the box or official 1C web sites and advertisement). Than and only than do they stand the chance of realizing that the list is actually a very short list.
