If they need to wait a few years before it's good enough to generate a decent volume of sales, then they'll be out of business by the end of 2011. There just aren't that many people who will buy a game they can't play, and word of mouth and online reviews are going to be very harsh indeed unless Luthier's FPS patch can actually deliver some significant improvement and deliver it quickly.
RoF got away with being incomplete (no proper campaign) because the actual flying was great fun from day 1 on run-of-the-mill gaming PCs. CloD is the other way round. There's probably a great campaign in there, but we can't fly over land enough to play it on the PCs we actually have now.
