From an economical view of sales I would say that we, the forum ”primadonnas”, are utterly insignificant. But the average buyer will seek for additional information before or immediately after the purchase of the game and this is were a forum such as this and the people that frequents it will play a mayor role.
The help and information given, and above all; the hospitality and “positive feel” of the forum are crucial to “hook” the buyer to the sim and thus encouraging him not only to further investment but also to spread the word among his friend thus enlarging the user community, creating a nuclear reaction type of response.
