Atleast now there is enough monies generated to keep Luthier and team in business, hopefully long after the US release. Although I think the sales numbers of the US release will have to be strong to warrant further work on the sim. If the developer can weather this storm we should be seeing patches and new theaters for many more years.
That is exactly the case. I know I would hold off if such info broke loose. I did exactly that with the epilepsy filter which was my no 1 complaint. It went away. Now when I bought the game it was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as many whiners were saying. Still playable to a satisying degree. Few weeks later the fps doubled and I was able to go sightseeing. It was a fair deal from the start.
