All those posters on these boards who I see whining and complaining better understand something:
If this game goes under, you will have nothing to do but whine. No game, no development, NOTHING.
The only smart thing to do at this point is to support the developers, give them POSITIVE feedback on issues.
Don't harp on issues which have been mentioned a hundred times, there is no point.
Unless you WANT the game to fail.
I personally have bought a copy online, and will be buying another hard copy in the stores when it arrives.
DO NOT KID YOURSELF. THIS GAME IS ON THE EDGE.

Your right, they do deserve everything they get and the bad reviews. Some body (UBI/1C) has to learn something from this. I am fan of the IL series for ten years and I don't feel I owe them anything with this release, they have made a complete and utter balls of it. I still cant even buy a boxed copy of the game over a month after release (never mind all the problems im likely to have when I actually get to play it), no retailer even knows about it. So don't worry about bad reviews as no one can buy it anyway unless they go through steam.
It will be disappointing if this game fails, but hell, this is the best time ever for flight simmers (DCS series, Rise of Flight) so if it does go under I don't really care, there are a lot of other sims for me to play. And if it does go under they have none to blame but themselves. I'm sure 777 would be only too happy to step in and steal the WW2 sim market with a sequel to Rise Of Flight, and I would gladly support them.
Personally I don't think it will "go under" as IL has too much of an underground community to have that happen and if it does happen its beacuse 1C or UBI decide to pull support/funding. It wont be because of the flight simmers, bad reviews or forum complaints.
