HiTech doesn't have to do this.
« on: March 22, 2011, 12:03:29 AM »
He doesn't have to look at all your whining and sobbing and crying.
He doesn't have to supply this game with constant updates and changes.
He doesn't have to keep his servers up and running for you to play in.

He chooses to. Get over yourselves, it's pathetic.
Offer articulate, thought out suggestions. Stop with the "ARENA
CAPS SUCK!!1!" nonsense.

End of rant.

It's not like AH if free, so people are just demanding more for their money.



Ah and you gave me a great idea for the wishlist, we need a section on the forum for all the whining (so HTC would not waist their time looking at it).  :aok

HTC may know you don't like it.. but unless you have something constructive to add, like a half baked idea... complaining isn't going to do anything.
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

It's not like you're being forced to pay, either.

Right, but people want to have a good WWII simulator. As there is nothing really out there that's better than AH, that's exactly what they (we) have.

Perhaps you should lay off the weed there buddy.

Again, they're not being forced to pay.
I believe we're deviating from the OP, however.

He's a businessman who makes his living providing entertainment to paying customers. Sure, he doesn't have to care what those customers think, but if he wants his business to do well he'd be pretty foolish not to.

Who's to say this is where he makes his living?

If he wanted money, I'm sure he would have put his skills to use elsewhere by now.

Hitech really DOESN'T have to do what he does. Honestly guys, would any of you cancel your subs if another update never came? I wouldn't, because nothing out there comes close to AHII.

Agreed, and furthermore, this is his passion. I believe he made his money when he sold War birds to wild Bill, notice how HTC's website makes no mention of any VC firms or angle investors?

He also doesn't have to reply to any of these posts.  He chooses to do so.  To me that is 'one on one' with the customer, and that is a good base to touch on.  He listens to our wishes, whether they are ridiculous or not.  How long has that B-29 been wished for?  Well we got it, but I don't see it in the air so much.  Been flying all night and all I see is B-17's and Lancs.  (love that b-17)
The people involved in making this game happen, whether it be Skuzzy or HiTech and many others, take the time to answer some of our outlandish suggestions, or complaints about this and that.  You want to lose contact with people that's providing you're entertainment, go play AA3.  It's free, but you won't have this kind of relationship with the people who made the game in the first place.  
Just sayin', don't lose focus.
