BoM should have playable demo

well that might be your case mate, you can appreciate that there are also newcomers that were deceived by the fake specs and content promises.

I understand you are saying that CloD was the first game ever to deceive people with systems specs and content promises. Ok.

Yes, but we all know that, this was a bad joke to all the guys here releasing the game in such state, then blame the epilepsy filter, and first say that those first videos with low FPS at the moscow expo were due to low RAM in the PC's, so even devs sustain their lie about the real state of the sim before release, this seems to be something normal in russia, as i remember something quite the same with RoF before it was owned by 777 studios, for me 777studios taking over CloD will be the best for CloD as they have proved to be a small but hard working and organized team.

so if Clod had had a playable demo, how many would have bought it???

I have to admit that I wouldn't have. At least not at release. I would have kept a close eye on the forums and awaited development.

BoM should wait a long long time to be release... Bom should be just a concept...
priority to CLOD, nobody buy the second party without the first...
and the first party is not finish... and make several years to be finish

If CLoD had a playable demo out at release time in the state that the game was in, there is no way I would have bought it. The demo would have had to work with most bugs ironed out. I waited until this Sept. to finally get the game in the hopes that its teething issues would have been resolved.
I know it now works for many, but I have spent a month With CLoD techs trying to get the game to work without success, but this thread is not about my launcher issues so I won't go on about that.
When I saw that Rise of Flight had a playable demo I downloaded it and it played great. I got hooked on playing the demo and wanted more. I upgraded to the full game and have bought four planes since. I consider myself a fan of the game.
I am not sure that I would have bought ROF before playing it and, to be honest, due to my experience of CLoD I would not even consider buying BoM without trying a demo to see if it actually works for me.

I was thinking the same in regards to what you said about ROF.

Your demo is called Cliffs of Dover. Maybe you should move on from the terrible disappointment CoD has been for you. It is not healthy to delve too long on the saddest things that ever happened in an otherwise charmed life. Go and enjoy the trees, the fields, the sunshine, the smile of a loved one, and try to forget the trauma CoD caused.

If you look at the date of my original post (5/7/12) that was about the time lots of promises were being made by the team but nothing was materialising. To call C.o.D. a demo is a bit of a slur on the developers but if you are correct, then we all paid good money
for a product which was not a retail release product (a lot of us would agree with that). All demo's (playable) that I have seen have been free, some with time limit operation which would be fair (that could be done though Steam probably without too much of a problem).

Yes, if you may think even after nearly 4 months from that original post that i'm still a little sour about C.o.D. you would be right.

18 months on after release, and a statment from Luthier that said that they broke Sli/Crossfire support just prior to release but it was their No.1 priority to fix it, we are still having to wait while all the other bells and whistles seem to be getting the priority.

Their promises for me have taken a back seat, let's see the proof of the pudding now before they get any more of my dollars.
