That's true, but it's not the only tactical sim niche. There are niche air combat games like DCS Blackshark, LockOn: Flaming Cliffs, Over Flanders Fields, Rise of Flight -- where the developers take the the product seriously, and offer continuing support after purchase. Ubi just looks bad by comparison. It's hard not to notice and comment on it, in the context of the rest of the game/simulation market.

We're a small community, a niche in the market. Because of this I am absolutely blown away with what we do have. And to be able to mod the game to our liking is awesome. I'm not excusing UBIsoft but there is no one else. As a community we're doing our best with what is dealt. Hating them doesn't serve my purpose at all.

Hate is too strong a word for what some people are posting here. For some of us (me, anyway), it's a question of tracking the status of the game and seeing when it reaches a point where it might be worth buying and playing. I don't have a lot of free time for gaming at home, and I don't want to waste it when there are other good games out there to play.

Well, there's a difference between grinding axes in unrelated threads, and a thread that's an opinion poll. You know, where people are being asked their
opinion of the game?
