All the patch info is old. Times New Roman text...facebook page that hasn't been updated since launch. I understand they don't get get a budget like a Call of Duty type fps game but still.

Now look at this, much better website with actual up to date info about the game and lots of pretty screenshots and videos.

No diss on CloD, I love it. I'm in graphics so I just am interested in the marketing side of things

Who are you to argue with the all mighty defender, the ACE OF THE ACES? On your knees whinie!

How does 10,000 +/- sound?

Pretty sobering number.

Now you know why moving to the sequel is so important.

We are a tiny niche market.

Giving us demanding flight simmers what we want (more of everything) is a nearly impossible economic model with the numbers of players the sim has.

I saw this as well but I have also read that Steam don't release their sales figures so maybe that doesn't include the main retailer in the equation?

Would be interested to know myself

Pretty sobering number.

The really sobering thought is that even if that number were the entirety of clod sales to date, it just goes to show how insignificant are the antics of us 50 to 100 blowhards who hang around this place. We hardly speak for the majority, and if Steam sales were taken into account, we wouldn't even make 1 percent.

It has been known for a very long time that forums represent a minority. Most people are playing their games instead of arguing about them :p

Seeing as how Cliffs of Dover is a Steam game, they're probably missing a lot of sales...

Amen!! But that's their own fault for choosing that path. I would love to see Steam go the sooner the better. That programm is the pest and the best reason ever to switch to a game console. The second reason sales are bad is the fact that not everyone plays online CLOD. The number of people that play offline is greater they ever expected, and just that part of the game is unplayable But at least (i hope) they are trying to fix. Steam will always be crap.

I think he was talking about the count of sales numbers not that steam was putting people off.

I doubt that Steam sales amount to a hill of beans really.

Exactly.

Even if it was another 10,000, that still doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the software industry.

FSX sold 280,000 in 2007
Falcon 4.0 sold 100,000 copies. Allied Force sold out in the first week.
Warcraft sold 2.2 million

But it will be several times the amount of hardcopies. No one buys them anymore - some Retroguys maybe.
It's pointless anyway, the data on the disc has no value, almost 100% will be outdated in no time. Just look at Clod.
