They were extremely misleading. This truth is inescapable.

So Furbs has every reason to grumble (I guess in the same way you have every right to mock him for his apparent naiveity. What was it Voltaire said? 'I detest your opinion but I will argue until the death for your right to say it')

I do not remember Oleg saying "You will get this, this and that feature in release version.", or "I promise you will get this..." All he could say is "We are working on this and that...", or "We want this and that feature to be included, etc." These are very different statements.

We all could be misleaded by this because we all wanted the best sim we could imagine. But this was our decision to be misleaded (if we are not kids). People tend to interpret words in the way which is more pleasing to them as this example shows very well (what Luthier actually said and how it was interpreted) http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=965

If I decided to pay $50 for a game or 1500 for a PC this is 100% my own responsibility. (Not talking about kids here of cause.) Thus I have no excuse to blame others for my own mistakes (if I am a grown up).
