I do love seeing a dweeb toss out that "paying customer" card. Here's a clue for you cupcake...CT never had any subscribers. You never paid for CT and you never lost a penny on it. CT was never going to be a part of AH. It was to be a total separate game. CT was never to be about current AH players. It was aimed at new segment of players....box-type RPG players.

If anyone lost money on CT...it was HTC.

Frankly, Dale deserves kudos for being willing to admit that he was not going to be able to pull CT off. In the end...AH will be better sooner because of this.

There you go again, getting all logical and stuff like that
You have become such a disapointment, where has all that in your face arguing and giggling at the response gone?
What has become of the AW days of rope a dope posting?
Ahhh the good old days- when dweebs were dweebs and cartoon planes were made for players the like of Socrates and Plato, or at least Moe, Larry & Curly, & sometimes Shep......
I lean back and sip my beer waiting for the alt monkey beech slaps, and what happens,  I get logic?
Kudos to HTC for making a difficult business decision.

I have flown with you in a scenario a ways back and know you to be an honorable larakin. When I log on to go flying its just to do that. You won't see me on 200 except to throw a salute to a downed foe or a better cartoon airman than myself. Posting in shade is so that I can have my say and still play peacefully....I don't care what your opinion is here or in game you can have it. I may not agree with it but I respect it and am not out to ruin anyone else's fun.
btw some of the sticks that i fly with / see online a bit and chat to cordially have already flamed me in this thread. So I think it was the best decision to go shady....I will think little of that said here when we meet in the cartoon skies and just see comrades out the windshield.... not comments on the boards....
others hold grudges :(

Moot -
Thank you for perpetuating this thread and reinforcing some points that I made above.
I challenge anyone to find a clear point to your posts in this thread.

The only thing to come out of this thread so far is that a "shades account was created to whine to HTC."

Gotta see the better side of this, too.  From now on things will only get better.

Ah, you bet ... things *have* to get better. Those old graphics for example ... yes, I mean those horrible Macchi's.

Well, I guess that sucks, but I have to agree - more news is better, even if its bad news.

What really has me peeved though, is the stagnant, 200 player arena sizes that occur through the majority of the hours.

Can we just go back to ONE ARENA ALL DAY EVERY DAY AGAIN?!?!?! I'm so bored with the non-Tuesday play!

It's really sad to see threads like this started by people who feel like they were owed CT.  CT is one of many many games that will be "shelved" this year by members of the gameing design and development industry.  The only unfortunate thing being pressed by some people in this thread is that it proves to game developers (like HTC) why most of these games never have a word about them slipped out past and beyond their own design and development teams until the product is almost 100% ready for release... I hope HTC sees past these selfish people and keeps up their very generous and open "this is what we're working on right now, want to come in and have a peek?" design and development practice.  Too many other generous and open companies have been burned by fans like this, and it results in all of us not hearing about any new and awesome upcoming thing until 2-years after they started work on it, when an almost-ready-to-launch version is on the deck and about to be fine polished for release. 

Yeah, a part of D&D is the death of a lot of good ideas/projects so that others can live and prosper, but trust me, everyone here will be a lot happier if HTC keeps us on the "in" next time rather than deciding, like most gameing companies, to leave us on the "out" until a project is so far along it's 100% going to be launched (due to "fan" and "customer" reactions like this to projects that may or may never be released).

Geez Noobs...I didn't really expect you to have a problem with it.....since logic is, generally, beyond your capacity to comprehend.

Great point. Most developers do not let anyone know anything (especially customers), until release is a viable option...

Though I'm still waiting on the new UFC game to arrive (PS3, etc), they've released a trailer, and nothing has happend since.  :(

Me and my friends have been waiting for that game since we were in High School.  A couple of those friends have kids now that they'll have to share this game with in a year or two... if it gets released before they have to start saving up for their kid's college. :P

I've been waiting for DNF since i completed DN 3D back in the mid 90's :)  I had it on the pc and the N64. It remains one of the best games i've ever played.   Now that i think about it i must have been about 12 or 13 back then.  There's nothing quite like shrinking aliens, stamping on them and then kicking in some urinals out back.

messed up my comments before... sorry

I stick with my original thoughts... If you hide behind a shade post you have ZERO credibility IMO.
