Yes i wonder too.


DCS Kickstarter
Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable."
Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

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



Not any more, he was one of the "mods" over there for a while
He had to be retired after wearing out his Ban Hammer banning thousands of people

Wow, what to say.......i don't want to read 11 pages of comments but i bet there are people here and moreover in ED forums somehow defending this practice.....

2 reasons;

1: ED don’t learn from their mistakes
2: The incompetence on display for desktop products is bankrolled from commercial/military products

Otherwise Wags wouldn’t have to release a public statement crying about why the company he works for are so poor at their jobs and begging half of his existing customer base not to jump ship to 1C-777/BOx.

Well, that's a weird way to read the letter by Wags... Truly unbiased.

Are you still playing the game Paradaz?

Basically any good will from Matts "Letter from the bottom of my heart"
Has been p1ssed away with the DRM debacle that is on going

Deceptive or inept ? Not sure which is true .....
how come
No mention of the new DRM when people might have been pre-purchasing the Harrier

Response from ED minions ... Matt wrote the letter the management team wrote the DRM

Do they not communicate ? Surely there would be an email trail , minutes of meetings etc showing that this was discussed

According to people here ED should have been closed due to financial problems years ago... Meanwhile, according to steamcharts, the amount of people playing the steam version of DCS is almost double of that of Il-2 BoS, even if it is a small sample. You people here clearly represent just a minority of the sim community.

Military contracts will always keep them afloat.

End users will always suffer an ED will continue to be propped up by shills & minions.

...I haven't touched dcs for a year...but it seems little has changed.

Yes, it's just shills, minions, and the thousands of people that buy their products.

Well, if FartHog hasn't played for over a year, that can only mean that the game is dying.

Oooh, what an argument... Everyone who doesn't take part in the SimHQ anti ED circle jerk is a shill and a minion. Fantastic logic! By that logic, everyone that hates DCS is a shill of 777.

Why are the DCS forums by far the busiest forums on Sim Hq?

Much busier than Falcon 4/BMS. Much busier than IL2 Battle of Stalingrad.

The only forum that even comes close is the General Community Forum.

I find that intriguing.

No.

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


#%&*$#! Absolute #%&*$#!

After deleting posts where I obviously made things difficult for the Chuckle Brothers over in the USSR, a certain somebody wasn't very quick with editing in the reason for post deletion, and what was displayed? Deleted by, yes, you guessed it, 159th_Viper. Unfortunately, it's now been edited away. So unless he's had his "MODERATOR RIGHTS REVOKED" somebody just told a massive porkie because he actually has moderator powers.

Furthermore, guess who's listed in numerous, including fairly recent, credit sections published by ED themselves? One certain Gavin “159th_Viper” Torr.

Definitely not a moderator, and definitely not a tester.

The diatribe you just posted?

Absolutely. Grade 1 #%&*$# indeed. Straight outta Main Street. But then that’s conduct becoming these days it would seem over here.

What a pity.

As I stated, it’s been years since I ceased being a moderator over at ED forums but hey, continue waving the SimHQ anti-ED flag.
