Post made by Jason at Sim HQ

Honestly? I think there are people that would like to see this title crash and burn.
I'm not saying it's this person or that person...just that it's a disturbing trend I've picked up not only here, but at SimHQ as well.
There was a poster there, can't remember his name, who was actually really pleased about the poor state the game was in a few months ago.

I don't understand that mentality at all.

I'm sure you're right.

Some people get a vicarious pleasure out of destroying things and great satisfaction from predicting failure before something's even been seen only to be able to trumpet their brilliance when it happens they are correct. Its a win-win for them because if they are proved incorrect they simply keep quiet. Of course when they are correct you never hear the end of it.

I think it fills a void in their lives.

Its a psychology thing and best ignored.

One more point; Over $1 million a year for a staff of how many; 6-10, in Eastern Europe???? Seems like good financing to me. It's probably even worse since the game was 2-3 years late

Oleg didn't tell people anything about his son. Someone at the Russian forums was posting there was a rumour that his kid needed heart surgery and he didn't have as much time to devote to the company because of this. Maybe he was someone who knew Oleg personally, or maybe he was just trolling. Either way, it wasn't Oleg's words.

So, before you accuse someone of lying about life and death situations in such a distasteful manner and then inserting a jab about an entire country, maybe you should do your research first.

Please edit your post to something less inflammatory or i'll have to move it (it's been reported) and serve you a warning.

Source of information about son and his heart is one comment in youtube. Comment was made by user "OlegMaddox" after kinda long and tense comment exchange with other user.

Я гоовлюсь к операции на сердце своему сыну. Так что в ближайшее время мне все будет пофигу.

I am preparing for heart surgery of my son. So, I will care about nothing else in near future.

Oleg has posted some videos on this forum, and those videos were from youtube channel, which belonged to youtube user "OlegMaddox". So, it is very likely, that quote above belongs to Oleg Maddox.

Jeez, it's just a game. I really don't think that as a forum we should be discussing the health of a child as a reason for the current state of things.

No matter how good at communicating to the community OM was (really? I always found him to be stuborn) the simple fact is that during the 5 years that he was in charge there was no game. He talked the talk, but when it came to walking the walk something went wrong.

Attaching blame for this mess is a pointless exercise.

There needs to be a colletive effort to draw a line under the past. This constant need to hold people accountable is literally suffocating the forum, the game and the community. It is in the past. Get over it and look forwards.

All everyone really want's to know is that the development team are fully committed to fixing it and that the publishers are committed to the developers.

The rest is a matter of time. It is in no ones interest for CloD to fail.
(with the exception of the 'I told you so' brigade, but that's just self justification for being a tw*t)

What a hoot, statements like yours are like...

I can't walk to town any more, yet you don't tell anyone you don't have any legs.

You don't help your image when you make unqualified statements.

It is not a porked game...

You just have problems and until you decide to deal with them, they aren't going to fix with rants and whines.

No, it's still just a game.

And my comment was in context, not standalone.

You have a very simple choice, wait, or walk away and chalk it up to experience. No ammount of bitching will change what happened.

I guess your reaction to disappointment is just a little bit more extreme than mine. I don't get it.

Re: making qualified statements. Aren't we qualified? Because we're the ones having to deal with the current state of this sim. We're the ones who take the time to use this sim and want to get the most out of it. We're the ones that want this sim to work as much as anyone in the Dev team, and we're the one's who are being targeted to buy it. I can appreciate that there are some who will just whine for the sake of it, but I for one have been a strong supporter of this series and I'm not referring to how many posts I've made here or on UBIZoo, but by my wallet, and I'm getting close to being so fed up it's not funny anymore.

As I said previously, I'm praying that Illya delivers on what he said in his last update, and I'm not expecting more than that. If some reason something can't be delivered, then for god sake tell us. I'm sure he'll deliver, but remember there's only so much people are willing to put up with, especially after having given our money.

I understand the pressures on the dev team and I commend IIlya for taking the sim to the point it's at right now, but I'd like to point out that at the end of the day who's the one's really funding all this? 1C / Ubi? No it's the Joe's (like you and me) on the street, so I think it's time for some perspective and a little Friday update wouldn't hurt.

I feel for you mods I really do, but remember there are some legitimate people out there, with a passion for this series who are wanting nothing more than some news or progress reports.

Depends on how one says things. Your post=valid, even though i disagree in some points.

Tvrdi's posts on the other hand have simply been venting "i wasted $50 on this" outbursts ever since the release: it's the same thing over and over and an opinion not shared by everyone, so when trying to present opinion as definitive fact it gets tiresome. It's his opinion and shared by some people, but not everybody's opinion.

Tvrdi: If you can get a refund do it mate. If you can't afford to waste money on PC games wait for the review next time. Just please, stop doing our head in with your personal horror story. You did the exact same thing with RoF back in the day: initial over-enthusiasm followed by crashing and burning disappointment, then two years later RoF is fixed and you praise it. Learn something from your past experience and don't repeat the same thing with CoD
