this is exactly what shouldn't be happening. getting beta patch releases this says it all about the condition the game was released in.

hey if the game trailers showed how the game really plays and looks and the game description on the place you buy it(box,steam or whatever) mentions that the game is not fully playable that it is still in need of patches, owners must wait till patches fix the game to play it ect... ect...

then i would be 100% agreeing with you guys.

but when you watch the trailers you see perfect smooth game with visually stunning visuals and nowhere in the box or steam or whatever it mentions anything about game being in BETA form. then my friend this is a dissrespect to the people who buy it.


edit: wolverine i just read your post.

I bought the game as soon as it was available to me on Steam. I've pre-purchased other games. I've pre-purchased plenty of games that ended up needing SIGNIFICANT patching to fix issues on lauch. It's a roll of the dice, pre-purchasing. There's no data to go on except advertising that is naturally going to be biased.

I'll be as disappointed as anyone if the game runs poorly on my machine, but I don't think I'm going to start sending the company nasty emails or post angry forum messages scolding them. Buying the game was my choice. No one forced me to do it.

yes other games may have and do have launch issues but nothing like this. the issues games commonly have are minor bugs that are patched in short time with some exceptions.
buying the game was your choice but you made this choice because you expected a good sim like the IL-2 before this.

in the end this will only affect them, I am not a hardcore plane sim gamer, I consider myself a hardcore sim racing gamer and i tought having a plane sim would be nice so consider me a casual gamer for this type of sim and after this experiense any casual gamer will look away from either the genre or the company. next time I will not buy it until it is for $5 dollars on steam fully patched and perfectly working.
