News are... hmm, NEWS?
I don't see why people are flaming ED for sending out a Newsletter that simply put, has "news" aka "information" in it.
I really like a newsletter that in a compact form puts all updates on the roadmap together, so I don't need to monitor the forum all the time (not that I do it anyway:music_whistling:).
At the late months I saw lots of people nagging and asking for information about this and that, complaining about why ED is doing things in parallel rather then focus on their "favorite" Module. Bottom line some people will never be happy or satisfied...:smilewink:
Let's face it: Developing Simulations is a huge effort, takes immense ressources from research, to programming, to testing, to bug fixing etc.
Everything we get that is bug free, and accurate is x-times better than playstation-controller compatible HAWX-Crap that is "easy accessible" for maximizing revenue.
I appreciate two things ED is doing: First they do quality stuff, before pushing obscure release dates to max out sales (e.g. no bugged, quick and dirty Nevada release for Christmas).
Second, we may disagree on pricing strategies, but when I compare any ED title or Add-On to "normal" releases, or some cinema tickets, or a MS FlightSim Add-On, the pricing is more than reasonable, don't you think?
So calm down and appreciate what we get delivered. Or as is a common phrase on this forum: "It's done when it's done!"
Merry Christmas and an exiting year 2012 with lots of Add-Ons, new Maps and new planes :xmas:
