We all know now that they refused to show the sim running over landscape because we would have been shocked at how broken/unfinished the thing was. It looks now as though it was a campaign of active deception by the developers and it is one that I am still now struggling to forgive.

No one is faultless, but your deduction is still a assumption and no proven fact, doesn't matter how probable.

Not like it's levelling off between patches; it crashes to absolute zero!
Yikes.

That's online only. Who knows, there could be hundreds of thousand people enjoying the singleplayer campaign over and over again.

That's before you start getting addicted to the super intuitive quick mission builder.

Thanks, didn't show up on my phone browser. The graph can't be right anyway if that's the case. No simultaneous players in July and August? I know that is not correct.

Regardless, the point is true. Numbers seem pretty bad...

The zero level likely denotes the periods when the game was not in the top 100. Steam only releases stats for top 100 games.

Even for a niche game like Cod thats pretty desperate!

And I don't buy this 'I would rather they were working on the game than posting' or 'they are far to busy to post on the forums' because this post took me 30 seconds, and thats all it would take them.

I feel your pain.

They could even lie to and make up some stories, yet ppl would feel treated with a certain kind of respect and live under the impression there is some progress and devs are working.
I always had the impression Oleg is a brilliant visionary but a miserable manager.
Now Ilya takes over, he seems to be much better in this field, but in turn he's a lousy salesman. kinda funny, no?

very true and very sad...for CLOD....but I will tell you something....no matter how big sim fan I am...If they dont fix this game ASAP I will NEVER buy their product again.....never....take my word..and Im not the only one.....shame on you and your team Luthier

BTW, last post from Oleg was prior to CLOD release.....he just disappeared....he doesnt have guts to come here and explain what happened...
