Awww ain't it nice to see all the PI fan boys play well together, +1.
PI & Johan have you guys on a string and are playing you like puppets.
You are right when you say that PI produce some of the best strategic games around. I love the concept of the HOI series.
However I am a consumer, a customer, a client...whatever. I paid money for a product that has not lived up to expectations. Instead of an apology along the lines of "Gee sorry guys, v1.0 sucked the big lemon, we'll fix it as quick as we can.."
What we get is arrogance "A patch is never early or late..."
If the PI fan club wants to keep getting thier strategic gaming fix from this company they had better start demanding that PI releases games in a usable state and fix any issues in a timely manner, because if the company doesn't thier consumer base will move on and they will go belly up and you the Fan Boys will lose out.
Simple marketing.
Seriously, think about this-
1. How much money did they make from sales of this game?
2. How much money are they losing to develop the game and then new patches after the game was released?
If 1<2= no PI.
