With a good initial start, this wouldn't have happened. There are not millions of dollars of invest here. Otherwise the game wouldn't have ran that bad! Perhaps 2 mio? Do not know, but when you perform like this and the game result is this, they really cannot compete on the marjet, as this game in this long period seem to be done by perhaps 20 people.
Noone ever claim the way you are saying it now. Bongodriver just talks a lot of trash, when day is long. You see many people enthusiastically talking about any aspect of this game and hold the hand of 1c now for nearly 1 decade overall and over 2 hard to understand, problematical years.
You now see it as claim, but you can also see it as suggestions and a discussion.
As this comunity turned out to be well knowledged, the discussion have this negative aspect for sure - no doubt. But the fact, that everyone had an eye on this game, although it was unplayable, should say us all, that all cared about this game.
Give it to oleg maddox, when he returns to the gaming manufacturing and let him set up a kickstarter project and let him present his ambitious visions, perhaps combining other aspects to a new ww2 sim and you will see the same as in star citizen from chris roberts.
Well advertised and speaking to the souls of core gamers and not to casual gamer and console gamers lets him get easily 7mio dollars with just 100.000 backers, which is 70 dollars average. And you backed for something, which you also do not know, how it turns oit to be.
But this is the way to go. Not shift it somewhere else, but setup new ways. As ROF engine will also have problems to accurately simulate the fm and as it has no ground objects routines, the current engine is far away from a standard, which you would need. Hopefully they get it, but I doubt.
And it is not one year! It is more like 2-3 years. So, BOM release in middle 2014 optimistically said in my opinion.
