505 release with 1.05 and more than 2 weeks until

[serpent46 0]

Is it only me ?

I was just reading the '505' anouncement and some posts of

the 'ArmA 505 Europe Release + US Publisher ' thread,

and now I actually can understand why so many developers dare to release merely unfinished games!

f.e. answers like this

>>

I don't care if 10000 people are playing the game online or 10 people.

 I'm playing it and enjoying it and that's all that matters to me and I suspect many others on this board.

Your opinion will not change our opinion.

or

<<

don't like it, don't play it

<<

such answers can probably only be justified by some kind of heavy addiction to this game!

Hey guys!,

try to read between the lines and guess what the 505 released at 1.05 and all the others waiting 2 weeks for their 1.05 means ?

YOU,

as a 45 bucks paying customer are getting cheated

(sorry I'm no native english speaker and my good manners deny me calling this "Verarschung" )

If any 'serious' software developers outside the gaming industry would dare to resell his product before he patches/upgrades already paying customers,

they would be out of business instantly! (and the reselled product wouldn't be bought either)

Don't get me wrong, I own Arma since 6th december, and I enjoyed it since then nearly every evening.

It's a fantastic game, with potential which will make it still worth playing in several years.

And I think the 45€ are very well spent money,

But if you don't complain NOW about the way BIS cares for their paying customers,

we all will see these things repeating.

In german we say 'wehret den Anfängen!', you could possible translate that as

'Stand up for your rights and fight!'

I'm a System Administrator and developer(inhouse) myself,

and I think I know a little about the problems of prefinacing such a big project as arma.

But if 505 'really' gets the 1.05 release fist,

I really would be pissed off!

And beleive me,

this will annoy me big enough, I definatly will remember this when Arma 2.0 is being selled!

I can underline your last statement. If the german/east-european beta-testers will get the patch later than the "505" release, ArmA will be history for me and my clan. That will bring the barrel to overcrowded.
