I think the big thing CloD has over "Duke Nukem Forever", mind, is that CloD is actually good.

I honestly do believe that CloD will be saved and the clouds may end up getting blacker for 1C (I hope not) but for us, the fanbase, the skies will eventually clear up. Why do I say that? One only has to look at "Gothic 3" or "Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines".... both games with a cult following which were, pretty much, an absolute joke on release and for quite some time afterwards. What happened? The community ended up fixing them and they are both fairly solid games these days. The ingenuity of the Flight Sim community has been demonstrated time and time again and, as a fan of CloD, I doubt everyone will give up that easily.

All that said, I actually do have some faith in the development team. I don't think they have handled everything particularly well 100% of the time but I really do think they are doing what they can and the patch will arrive in time (Hopefully sooner than later).

That said..... I'm having a great time on this clunky, low frame rate, mess. lol I'll certainly keep flying whatever the outcome. I know not everyone is as lucky as me to be able to eke some enjoyment out of CloD and my deepest sympathies go to them.

The future is as bright as we allow it to be.
