Crowd sourcing the funds to buy the game as an investment
« on: May 28, 2025, 11:57:14 PM »
How many would invest a precentage to own the game?

I would invest 100k

What do you figure the return on your 100k would be?

How long until that return is realized?

Put me down for $20.

$100 if I win tomorrow nights lotto.

$500 if you let me perma ban Animl just for sport. ;)

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Oh my. 

Then how powerless and impotent you must feel.  You have my sympathies.

Probably not long after converting to Unreal Engine. Which could take 3-9 months, depending. Which would require a few top shelf programmers to update any C++ scripts to a modern C++ script function for UR to execute them. Raise polly count and thats if objects and assets will import right in. Other wise add a lot of time for re-modeling objects that don’t.

If you got there, you’d stomp IL-2 and WT to bits. With UR you can 3D scan real scenery and objects. Thats part of why they look real. Much easier.

Of course skimmers would be perma-banned for life from bbs and game. Then again, if you went UR they couldn’t touch you. Only diff would be cockpits.

Can you show us on the airframe where the bad HTC touched you?  Did a mod give you an "unfair" 10 min timeout or something?

if HT wants to let you two destroy his income and reputation that’s his call. Evidently he doesn’t need our money.

Powerless? Frankly lil boy, I can reach out and touch you at will.

Don’t you have someone in DCS to doxx? Bet you thought that was the end of me. Lol,

Give HiTech the 500 to PNG Animl and you'll probably get your money all back in donations from the community.

Thats cute, former player trolls don’t like me, what shall I do, what shall I do. (Paralyzed)

My, sounds like more of your forum threats.  And who has doxxed you?  I haven't posted any links to your records.


If I criticize sometime about the AH design or marketing approach, my problem is with the design or marketing approach.  Not the man.

I got no problem with HT.  It's some of the clueless dolts he calls customers, and they don't dictate where or what I post.  And I'm willing to expend significant effort in proving that to them over and over. 

Like how we'll spend years sending destroyers up and down the China Sea anytime China tries to tell use we are not allowed.  Just because we know it annoys them. ;)

We know you’re allowed because you’re from TX. You’re nothing. You try so hard trolling. You two spent two days dedicated to trolling me. I’m in your heads rent free.

Btw you were a part of the doxxing, you just got others to do your dirty work, you provided the info to post them. yep I have witnesses you think are friends, they came to me with it.
Statute of limitations on your online defamation and role in doxxing is not up. But please, keep talking.

I’m going to stay here because it eats you alive inside.

Again, if HT allows you to destroy his income and reputation its his call,
And if PAYING CUSTOMERS want  12 year disgruntled former player to destroy their numbers (HTs income)  thats their call.

Yes, you do have a problem with the man and how he operates his business.  You're basically just a disgruntled window-licker who keeps coming here for attention.  Now if you were a currently paying customer, I might give you more slack in my low opinion of your trolling.  Until then, how about just staying in O'Club.

One minute you say I'm a dork, everyone has me on ignore and no one listens to me.  Next you say I am a criminal mastermind with a vast network of secret agents I can order todo my bidding.  Lol.  Which is it?  Am I a dork or a Bond Villain? 

Oooh, I always wanted to be a bond villain.
