Hiya. Just read your review of Aces High.

Got one comment for yah...

>>Open the game and let someone else think of these things and solve those problems. Sure, it will create a small mess, but isn’t a large following worth it?<<

Your stupidity is showing.

Have a nice day.

Maybe more of us should follow suit.  :)

Article corrections per your article posted at this site: http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/sim.html


"Warbirds and Fighter Ace never competed against retail games, yet these have
somehow managed to avoid the layoffs, killed projects and bad publicity of their retail
brethren. Why? Why has Warbirds grown
stronger when other flight sims appear
sickly? Because Warbirds is profitable"

Not entirely true. iEN stock is currently
trading at 10¢ a share and they've laid off
33 people in the past year. Profitable? I
think not.


"Steve Danielsson recently interviewed HiTech
Creations, developers of the upcoming Aces
High online game. The programmer mentioned
that they still needed to complete a few
aircraft. Why not open the architecture and
let fans do the dirty work? Steve asked about
dropping paratroopers on top of captured
territory and was told “Gee, I didn’t think
about that.” That’s the point. Open the game
and let someone else think of these things
and solve those problems. Sure, it will
create a small mess, but isn’t a large
following worth it?"


   Upcoming? Aces High has only been
around since July of 99. I've been there
since December of 99 with the same account,
so it's hardly upcoming. Dropping troops
behind enemy lines to capture fields has been
done since BETA back in 99, so I believe
Steve Danielsson is blowing it out his mule
on that one.  Lemme get this straight; a
community-developed sim where the programmers
let people lose with text files ala Rogue
Spear mods? ROFLMAO Now I think you're
blowing it out your mule!!


   (c'mon iq, we know yer in there!)

Have a nice day
