That would probably look worse than considering the latest alpha and beta patches as "official" (are they even unofficial?) releases.

This sim is good and probably even worth its money (i think i bought it for 25 EUR or so). Posting screenshots and videos (specially recorded, because they wouldn't look smooth if you would record them in real time) of it and then saying it's great is kind of like wearing very pink glasses here, because that doesn't mean that the sim IS great. It just looks great, aslong as you visit forums and watch screenshots and videos. But as soon as you boot it up, it's not great anymore.

I'm convinced that this sim will be great in a few months or years, but it certainly has not reached that level yet.

COD is the best unfinished sim I've ever played. . You have too expect a number of features, and optimizations not to work with an unfinished sim. Atleast the devs are still working and the beancounters are still supporting the sim. That said their days must be numbered unless something good happens soon with the code optimizations.
