Pfft. Aparently it hasn't gone into some heads yet that Maddox Games is merely a small part of 1C, the mother corporation, and that 1C could buy out 777 Studios out of the secretary's thank-you box - without making a noticable dent into it. If CloD fails the development studio will either be shut down completely or reassigned to other more financially interesting projects by the suits who make the decisions.

DX9 + sequel = backwards: Based on the CLOD business model (which is the opposite of the long term successful IL-2 - a now defunct company) they are working backwards focusing on DX9 as well as the sequel - which we will not buy as CLOD has shown to be a failure, without redemption nearly 2 years later with more bugs and incomplete. It was less buggy before they started downgrading, patching, injecting Alpha code as seeming proof that they cannot fix it as promised.


As many have inferred it will only fail as the market is not DX9 based + since CLOD was sold in a pre Alpha stage + nearly two years later the sole programmer who is employed is focused on a Sequel to generate a few new sales $ for a bankrupt project. What else CAN they do with the new 1C Maddox business model? The actions seen by the independent consumer is a veil of misrepresentations in order to avoid current/inevitable bankruptcy. Why would the consumer spend more money and receive no concrete product in the exchange?


We are all very disappointed but our flight clubs will not buy another sequel unless CLOD has been redeemed by The Company in a VERY BIG WAY from the initial release. We have already honoured our end paying the Sales Price but the company has not honoured their end.

Hope for the best but we won't toss More money (sequel of otherwise) into the bottomless pit. A sad lost cause.

Jeez, I couldn't possibly have said it any better myself.

Sums up my view exactly.
