In my opinion, one thing which makes promoting a further patch difficult ARE the so called "buglists" in the different forums. They are a hammer, and any dev looking into them while knowing he has only so much resources left to put into this game will just leave not only that thread, but also the whole damn forum and never look back.
I only know the "buglist" from here but I can imagine on other boards they look similar. Knowing my countrymen, I don't even WANT to see the German "buglist".
As to the buglist on this forum here, it seems as soon as someone mentions some trivial issues he might have had or might have percieved with the game, it gets added to the list. 80+ bugs left to fix? Don't kid yourselves. Most of this is trivial bull. The dive planes don't lower from time to time? Soooo, is this a showstopper?? You're watching a movie or playing a subsim? The only genuine buglist, with real must be fixed bugs, is the one Neal has brought up in his Patch 1.3 promotion thread. Everything else is bull and wishfull thinking, which would ultimately lead to the "perfect" game which has never and will never happen.
Get real.
