the failure of clod is a failure of US ALL

no one buys a car no matter how pretty it looks or how fabulous is its steering or brakes, if it always blows the engine 5 miles down the road.

You are kidding right? practically everything bought is purely because of a label, you can practically sell anything if you put a small 'i' before it's name, and now apparently you can also just put 777 on it too.

So no you are wrong, the community killed COD, flight sims live on very fragile ground and can't soak up criticism the same way iPhones can, I'm not saying the release of COD was perfect, I'm just saying we as a community should have realised we either support it through it's troubled birth or simply lose it, simply put COD would not have been cancelled if there was a better reception and more enthusiasm from us, the bit that baffles me the most was the vile hatred channeled straight toward Luthier as if he had personally insulted them thanks to us the most promising flight sim title was binned and a man lost his job.
