I love Rise of Flight and I have bought all the planes, but I think that type of business model sucks … I would rather pay for a theater expansion than pay for everything piecemeal. I’m glad I only paid 12.50 for COD, after about 3 hours I removed it from my hard drive, lets hope they get there $hit together with the sequel, I was looking forward to COD for such a long time ... it was a real disappointment.

Looking forward to the sequel; please don’t release it before its ready.

Funny, I thought they've been paid for a product but haven't delivered it. We've got something, but it isn't what we paid for. The sense of betrayal is still there.

When they do deliver they'll get the plaudits they deserve. It'll be interesting to see what those plaudits are. Like others I'm hoping we'll be singing their praises.

Here's to a progressive new year.

If you also read the first "Quote" Luthier states that any improvements will come with the sequels as in PF and 46 where improvements to graphics etc will come as part of the paid for sequels. This if he is telling us the truth and says that the patch won't be released prior to the release of the sequel, then let him explain in more detail when the patch to correct the failures of the current release will come. Will it be as a free patch? or will it be part of the sequel to be merged with COD as in Il2 PF and 46 (which will mean we pay again to fix their problem) as suggested in his first quote.

as long as they fix the flight models that were bungled do to political correctness the first time around... (bungled is being kind..) they get a great Kudos' for what they got right...

Don't talk yourself into a mindset. It will just mess up your thinking.

IL2 was very playable online and we had a constant barrage of patches.

IL2 had issues that did not resolve until Forgotten Battles released.

So yeah, we did have a paid sequel "all inclusive" addon that made everything right.
