Excellent, just excellent.
You keep saying something about an equation and yet you keep buying the same Call of Duty bullshit every year. Yet when a very ambitious and passionate dev team needs money and releases a brand new product, you fire away like you never knew what a video game market is.
It is obvious that ppl like you need a reality check. 1C going only for the $$$? YOU JUST GOT A NEW FLYABLE PLANE FOR CHRIST SAKE - FOOOOOOOR FREE (Bf109E-1). No trust?! WHERE WERE YOU FROM 2001 THROUGH 2007?! We got so much stuff free that companies like MS/CAPCOM would EASILY make a brand new FULL RETAIL PRICE title out of it. But noooooooo. You payed 50 bucks and it aaaaaaal goes out the window because you feel cheated but DIDN`T take any time to actually analize what state SoW was in. You are full of it!

I don't know whether contractual obligations meant that a paid beta release was impossible but at the very least the devs should have been honest with their customer base. I bet the reviews would have been more lenient, or possibly the game would not have been reviewed at all until it was actually ready, too.

Yeah? How? What does your crystal ball tell you? BS.

Unfortunately, it seems as though few lessons have been learnt. The dev presence on the forums has all but disappeared resulting in the trust of the community in the dev team trending in the wrong direction. A decade of hard work pretty much blown, and for what?

Have you ever thought in what kind of trouble they are now? Have you ANY respect for another human being? They keep working 6-7 days a week but it still ain`t enough for you, huh?
Nah, but you want the dev team to sit on the forums all day. For what? Reading your stupidity? You figure it would be a better thing instead to WORK ON FIXING THE GAME?
And don`t wipe your face with the community. We are here, we support the devs. We keep reporting bugs, testing the patches, waiting patiently, posting CONSTRUCTIVE STUFF and lending them some money to continue working. WHY IS THIS SO COMPLICATED FOR YOU TO FIGURE OUT?!
Nah, those who help are the community. You are just a person who feels that moaning over a 50 buck video game is the best thing to do in your day.
