Nobody owes anybody anything unless money or something similar exchanged hands as the result of some agreement that something would be owed as a result. Developers don't owe anyone any updates. It's not "unfair".

This kind of attitude has been rediculous lately, whether it's regarding Combat Helo or MS Flight or SF2:NA. People think that because they've followed development or purchased previous products that they are owed something, whether it's updates on development or that certain features be included in the next upcoming product.

Get over yourselves.

Agree with the previous post.

If anybody that follows these forums or the blog (or any other medium the development team uses) is unhappy with the status of this project, all you have to do is simply stop following it. This project has always been privately funded by an extremely small development team, who have family and personal lives outside of staring at computer code like it's the matrix. A customer paying money for a finished product is quite easy compared to committing several years of your spare time to a project such as this.

If, however, you still support the development, then support it. Provide encouragement and input where appropriate. We're all human, but let's please resist the urge to needlessly complain. It may make you feel better, but it does no good here.

^+1 Wish people could me more supportive of these ventures instead of trying to intimidate the developers. I'm really looking forward to small sim projects like this. Another small team is in a similar situation, Jet Thunder. And they get the same type of posts in that forum too.

I can't wait for this game. But I seriously doubt that b!tch!ng will make it arrive more quickly.

I don't believe developers should be held to 'promises', but if you're looking to sell, good communication is a courtesy, particular with many people here likely to pony up on the first day of release.
It would be appreciated if developers would offer a rough timeframe, such as 80% chance we will have product this quarter, or 6 months from now - gives you something to look forward to, and if they have to delay, no biggie.
I'm not the only one who kept waiting... and waiting... and waiting to upgrade because never really knew when SoW would come out (now waiting on patch, but at least they are more communicative these days).

We all know what happens when timetables and deadlines are attached to projects. = (angry supporters)

That's what I call great support...Sure I'll be disappointed if the game isn't released but what's the point in whining even before it's official?
And as everybody mentioned, most people haven't really invested anything other than forum/blog-time towards this project.

"Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth"

I'll second that. You've got a way with words fransky.

OK, folks, let's get back on topic please.
