Most common are devs running away never to be heard of again -- let alone posting on a forum like this.
Ace"s? Disappeared from the radar after CFS3 release. The community "fixed" the sim the best they could in 7 years of modding work, with some miraculous results, like OFF. Do you think there was ever a single post from the devs in any of their forums in 7 years? Nope, nada, nil.
Pretty much the same story with SH5. It being fixed by the modders over at Subsim since a year, and it has become pretty good.

The reviewer at Gamespot could have easily known that the game is about to be fixed...or that the intent is there. A simple click over to this forum could have told him so. It would have been nothing than fair play and common sense to wait some weeks until you throw a score into the world....a score which may be completely false in some months, or even just in some weeks. Hell, maybe next week end.
I say that he was lazy, and uninterested in the genre. that would not surprise me. It would not surprise me if was uninterested in PC simulation as a whole.

Sorry, that is nonsense pure and simple. If you set a precedent for holding back reviews because the game might possibly be fixed/updated by devs & or modders in the distant future then every single game review is worthless. Do you really think the reviewers should have held of reviewing SH5 until the modders had it for a few years?
