It will cause a few people who read the forums to delay their purchase, but the devs have enough support from the IC publishers to continue work for atleast a few more months to get things moving in the right direction. At the end of the day its the final product that counts, if the finished product is good then the new IL-2 series will be successful. This next patch is critical, to the sims survival, it needs a considerable performance boost to allow integration of all the missing resource hungry features.

Wow Chivas. Not sure where you went to business school, but it might be time for refresher course. Your saying that having 70% of your customers annoyed and questioning the quality of your product doesn't matter? I would guess that BOM will have 75% less pre-orders than COD had. Not a good business strategy if you ask me. With the shameful release of COD the best thing to do is damage control. The way you do that is good customer relations. What do we get? Luthier thinks we should be grateful that he is supporting the sim 7 months after release. Huh? They need to remember, we rely on them for a fun hobby, they rely on us to get a paycheck. See the difference of importance there?
