1C probably needs a kickstarter project?

You know, this attitude is similar to the attitude that allowed American car companies to remain solvent, despite producing such awful vehicles for so many years.

People there would "Buy American" despite the vehicles being inferior in almost every aspect to foreign offerings. The companies had an artificially competition-free market, and thus no incentive to get better, and so they continued to make lousy vehicles.

Then, when the "Buy American" garbage finally died out, the car companies realized just how much catch-up ball they had to play which eventually resulted in them going bankrupt a few years ago.

It's the natural order of things. If a company can't produce a quality product now, and has no real competition (sound familiar?) then we should not expect that company to magically get better.

When you promise to buy the sequel no matter what, before it's even been released and before anything other than screenshots have been posted online, then you are perpetuating a destructive cycle.

Look what happened with the current debacle: Lots of fancy screenshots got posted years and years before BoB was released, and have a look at the state it's in.

Look at corporate info a bunch of sub par titles mentioned and nothing on this.

The Red Orchestra series are actually quite good, and have sold many many copies in the English-speaking markets.
