There's been a buzz about CloD? I read many major and smaller gaming sites everyday and I haven't seen a single article on CloD. Buzz, LOL! This is a flight sim, flightsims -unfortunately- doesn't get any hype these days. I'd say they can release it on monday if they want to but they could release it Christmas also if they wanted to. Why? most gamers knows nothing about this game. Releasing it now in the summer would be a wise move though. Right now is the regular PC/video game summer drought that occurs every summer and there is nothing out there for gamers to buy, this is a good opportunity for CloD.
When fall/winter comes and the next iteration of Call of Duty, Gears of Wars 3, Rage and Uncharted 3 are released it will be very hard to compete for the gamers 50-60 bucks. Releasing the game this autumn/winter season would be financial suicide. Of course the hardest of the hardcore will buy the game but that percentage is way too small to sustain further development of CloD nor expansions.
