Reviews on Meta Store are ridiculous!

Not sure if anyone has seen the aces high reviews on the meta store for oculus rift...could be a huge reason why player base isn't growing so rapidly...there were 236 reviews...and a lot of them one star, because of hardware issues. I would imagine a lot of people would just be turned off from reading them.

 Is there something we can do about this? Would love to see more players come to this game, like the old days!

I bet their glowing compared to the Steam store reviews.   

You could try and suppress them or learn from them.  Like it or not it is a snapshot of how the market is reacting to the product.

When you ignore market expectations, the market tends to ignore you back.

Ya, you are a real big help. <eye roll> did ya jo to that? You’re no friend of AH, so…

The reviews read like the same person over and over again with an issue that I personally cannot replicate on my VR headset.

It's a much more difficult game than either il2 or dcs as you can't do a career or campaign nor fly against canned AI missions...

AH is only live opponents who have already gone through the tough learning curve..

Younger players don't have the patience these days..maybe a form of adhd?

Some people think that being a "friend" consists of slathering on empty flowery praise.

Others think that being a friend is to take an real interest in what is stopping you from reaching your potential and making honest concrete suggestions on what you might can do actually improve the situation rather than just circle the wagons and sing Kumbaya.

One wants to truly help.  The other simply wants to be popular with the herd.

IMHO the 3 main factors causing the market to reject Aces High (in order of importance):

1.  Graphics that have fallen too far behind current competitors to win the "curb appeal" battle.

2.  Subscription only model that is out of step with current market expectations.  Especially when there is no longer any new development occurring or planned.

3.  To a much less degree, lack of any real viable SP content.  SP is a great onboarding tool for MP and provides a safe space to ramp up in and provide younger players a way to get hooked on the game when their parents won't go for any subscription burden.

YMMV

Are you threatening a forum member?

Well, I don't know who AG is, but HTC would be better severed by trying to improve it's own product and revenue rather than worrying about DCS' troubles.

And if you can't, or won't address those three issues, the only other solution I see is to try and concentrate on reactivating former players to come back now that that demographic cohort is just reaching retirement and the free time that provides.

But that is going to take additional effort at specifically reaching out to that population, and possibly some kind of sweetener to move the needle.

IMHO.
