It is simple. Some people just take pride in bringing other people down. Everyone meets at least one such person in life.

You are almost correct; many of us just have pride and expect others to be the same. If you are going to do a mediocore or just passable job-don't bother. The expectations of CoD and the build up by 1C, Oleg and Luthier have left much to be desired. The way they would talk about this game you would expect it to be perfect and accurate to a fault. This isn't rocket science here, only programming and artistic ability. You cannot build a game with no time schedule and expect anything but the way things have turned out. If the game fails it has nothing to do with the sim community or Ubisoft...Oleg and Luthier will have to look in the mirror and blame themselves and get a real project manager to help them with their next projects

CoD is solid under the hood, it's just the panels that need work. The DMs are just astounding and the CEM blows 1946 away, no-one can argue with that, surely. Just engage the community and give them something constructive to work towards - there are lots of clever people here who have a lot to offer (not me, obviously ) and I think this would neutralise many forum problems.

Some people take pride in their work too, I build computers for a living, if you were to buy one from me it would work straight out of the box, that's what you would expect. however if I sold you a PC and it didn't work and I offered you little to no explanation, other than to send you an email saying that hopefully it should be working within a few months and I then mostly ignored your calls and pleas, well you would be one upset bunny. The cost is irrelevant, it's the service and the honesty of the supplier /manufacturer that's important.

I don`t buy full PCs, I build them myself.
A PC is not a video game.
Before I buy anything I check as much info on it as I can and THEN I make my decision.
Sorry bud, the cost is relevant here. You must be quite a liar to dismiss a little factor of a difference - a good PC costs as much as 1000$, an AAA video game costs 60$. It is simple that I would get much more upset if I got a disfunctional pc for which I saved during 6 months instead of a game that I buy twice every months and dump it after 8-10 hours of gameplay.
I can see that you have a serious problem putting things into perspective.

That's the most lucid statement I've seen on this forum in months.

I think you have missed my point by a considerable margin, that takes some serious skill. You should be a politician.
