That is: 18.xxx copies worldwide with mostly 9k in 2011 and 9k in 2012

Thanks for the info ...

18k copies actually a mega failure, ahead of big game developers considering 100k copies a failure ...

I've been analyzing that there is this patch is released or are just buying time?

To this amount of sales actually his interest in pleasing the audience is very small. If it exists!

Now I understand why they try so hard to divert attention to the BOM with screeshots and reports on the development of the sequel.

Where are we going to stop?

18k copies might be a failure if you're talking about an MMO or an FPS/RTS, but you must remember that this is neither. This is a high-fidelity WW2 flightsim, which is a market that's incredibly narrow and has a very small fanbase in general. Is 18k copies low? In raw numbers, yes, it is. Viewed in light of how few simmers on this level there actually is, it might not be all that low.

What I want to know, however, is where vgchartz gets their numbers from. I don't trust anything when it comes to third-party reportingsites for sales/subscribers, through long experience with MMO's.

Seems to be retail only though. So all the digital copies aren't counted, nor do I see the yuplay/1C sales (Russia) listed.
But even with those added, the numbers won't be high and are unlikely to cover the cost of developing it.

You have selective memory it seems. You don`t mind others insulting Luthier/BlackSix or posting impolite complaints for multiple pages. The only thing boring is your whining. Do others a favor and find something else to do in your life.
