I wonder. The negativity towards ED and DCS world over the last 5 or so years? The reputation they have garnered over that period. Now this? They are hemorrhaging good will and customers.

Viper
Are you officially associated with Eagle Dynamics in any role? e.g. a beta tester, a mod, etc?

I think viper has missed the point.
Its not so much the system its the selling of a product then 2 days later changing the "terms of use"
I dont know what car you drive but how would your opinion of the manufacturer change if they told you you have to now turn up at the dealership every 3 weeks or you wont be able to drive it? Im pretty sure your next car would be made by a totaly different company.

No.

Not associated at all, apart from being a satisfied consumer, that is.

Viper,

Thank you for the reply.

I can now ignore all your nonconstructive vocal rants against paying customers since you are a nonofficial spokesperson.

What reputation? This is literally the only place that is throwing a hissy fit over this. And this place has stopped being relevant to DCS since the trolls took over.

Thanks to that thread the time period is already under review. A couple of other considerations have also been forwarded to ED for further contemplation.

The "can't meet a deadline, unfinished for years, glacial development, abysmal customer service, abysmal customer relations, liars, unresponsive to feedback etc, etc" reputation.
Oh they're throwing a "hissy fit" over on the ED forums too. Maybe all y'all need to collectively get your heads out of your backsides before its too late. the clock is ticking. Tick tock
