Goodness me. Only the most blinkered of the blinkered could possibly suggest the SimHq article was not more than fair.
And I think the criticism about review copies is entirely well founded. Refusal to give them out does suggest you have something to hide. Accusing SimHq of petulance because they didn't get a freebie is very silly and ignores the robust history SimHq has for frank and fearless reviews.
From memory 1c also muddied the waters further with SimHq by holding off on giving a long-promised interview to coincide with the release.
When the interview did come through at the very last minute it was very basic and vague, with no screenshots included.
That said - I do hope 1c can sort out Cod. This game has so much promise, but many of us are still struggling to trust these guys thanks to the colourful stuff that went on before the release.
