Surprised as well I must say. What's the point of having this secondary forum over there, I thought it's meant to allow more critical voices?

There is a certain forum member known for making poor videos that was reporting all my posts. Probably the same guy who does it here, still it keeps him happy.

I'd noticed that. I'd imagined the fellow to have a bright red telephone with a clear plastic dome over it. Every time you posted, it would ring and light up.

In all fairness the two of them are a match made in heaven...like twins from two parallel but opposite universes

I think its hilarious that Tom Cofield has a C.B. handle he goes by and some people call him a "senior editor" like he's the editor of the New York Times. I think he should have called himself a senior fellow that's much more elitist.

And now I will try to derail this thread...

Well I never made any flight sim's in my life, but I do know that CLOD is frustratingly bad, and that Luthier has told more whoppers than Pinocchio, and continues to do so.... 'community manager my arse'!.

Ever stop to think how difficult it might be to get someone to agree to manage the communications in this community - at a salary commensurate with the actual profit potential of a flight sim?

I can imagine how the interviews have gone:

Luthier: "Look, we can start you at salary of 20K per year, and your job will be to manage communications with our customers, in a positive manner. I wish I could pay you more, but our industry is based around the PC market and simulations are not currently in a growth spurt. All of us here at Maddox games, are really working out of passion for flight sims. Look, if you have a positive impact on sales through your communication skills with our clients, your salary is certain to grow."

Applicant: "Well that's not a lot of money. Tell me about the benefits?"

Luthier: "Standard benefits for Moscow - no health care, no retirement - but possible in the future".

Applicant: "Can you tell me a little more about your customers, the community?"

Luthier: "Sure, in fact I can do better - here are links to our forums here at 1C, our publishers forum at Ubi and another at SIMHQ. Why don't you spend a little time going through user posts at these sites. It will give you a good idea of our customer base, their issues and the general nature of the Combat Flight sim community"

Applicant: "Sure. I'll spend a few days reviewing the customer base - and I'll get back to you, thank you so much for this opportunity."

After the applicant departs the Maddox Games office......

Office Manager: "Well Luthier, how did the interview go?"

Luthier: "I don't know, I told him the same as all the others and sent him off to review the forums...."

Office Manager: "You sent him to the forums! Luthier I thought we agreed that you would not do that anymore! This is the 67th interview and I can't find anymore fools to take this job, in all of Moscow! Why can't you stop giving them these damn links......!!!"

Luthier: "I know, I know - but we have to be honest with them - they'll eventually have to confront the community anyway..."

Office Manager: "Please stop this insanity Luthier. We've been rejected by every applicant. We can't even get "Lefty" from the old Neoqb to take the job part-time for any amount of money. Look what happened to him. Maybe we could compromise? Send him to our forums but not SIMHQ. Whatever you do, don't send him to SIMHQ and don't tell him the publisher is UBISOFT. OK?"

S!

Thank you, and well played sir.


I find it humorous that everyone still blames UBI, when quite clearly it is The Russian publisher 1C that forced the early release, forced the adoption of Steam, and forced Oleg out.

I guess it's just fashonable among gamers to blame every problem on the planet on UBI.
