That may be true, but why do they simply ignore facts presented in these forums? It would only take 10mins of their time to pop in a reply. I seriously doubt the newsletter will hold a
BOLD and
NEW information about any upcoming fixes.
I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time, but it seems really funny to me that the only posts TGC has made in the past to these forums are of how they made it into another review or magazine. I get the feeling its about the profit more than the users. And if true, it will soon come to terms, the more they ignore what needs to be fixed and push towards global coverage, the more 'faithful' users they will loose due to not fixing current issues that exist.
I am sure they have had their fun from the profit that EA and V1 has generated, but its about time they start to satisfy the required fixes and come off of vacation. They will make more of a profit from a more stable, more feature rich version of FPSC instead of ignoring the postings here and the push for reviews.
I am starting to get the feeling that TGC is more leaning toward a profit from this endevor than an actual stable, updatable product.
The FPSC website doesn't even give minimum system requirements for new users. A bait and hook tactic. Now we have users who bought FPSC asking for minimum system reqquirements and having issues, which could be solved with simple verbage on the ABOUT section of the FPSC site. So when 'you' release your game, what do you put in your about section on the minimum system requirements? Basicly, 'We Don't Know'... If it does not work, then upgrade your system!' Poor choice for developers, since a user may have bought your game, and can't play it or it runs slow on their machine. Could cost you in a refund, if your selling your game with V1 which I can't see anyone doing. Why would you?
Don't get me wrong, FPSC has a way to go, and out-of-the-box it works for most. But define works... The FPSC website builds it up to something it is not. Plus there are NO real tutorials for adding your own models, or doing anything creative. You have to learn by the seat of your pants with many hours of trial and error. You'd think since 'they' developed it, there would be strait-forward tutorials of 'How-To' and such.
Marketing and gain, and users are left saying 'WTF??' In many cases these issues could have been avoided with a more solid product... Can you say $$$$$$$....
