"I've heard of that..."

[Dragon Tamer]

I recently told some of my coworkers about AH (all of them are gamers), and they all claimed to have heard of it before. Is AH really that popular or are they confusing it with a different game? If they are thinking of the right game, where did they hear about it? Why not play it? Why am I asking all these questions?

[Ack-Ack]

Probably confusing it with the Aces High online poker site that used to be up until the Feds took it down last year or they can just be full of bull scatology and just saying they've heard of it to look cool in front of you.

Well there was Full tilt poker, Ultimate bet and pokerstars but have never heard of aces high poker.

P.S. Your name has always made me think of poker.

I have some buddies who have seen the commercial on the Military Channel.

Why are you asking all these questions?

The History channel has AH commercials on all the time. Maybe some have seen it

I'm guessing a WW2 air combat sim (it does come off as "air" to those who've not investigated further) has limited appeal in this age of X-boxers. Add to that the cost of stick (throttle, peds) a computer capable of running the graphics, etc. Then there's the learning curve with very little instructional guidance for the beginner. The economy is not exactly robust and many folks are dialing back on expenses.

The older days of H2H allowed new players to develop (and yes, there were freeloaders and hackers) skills before flying the arenas.

No doubt, HTC is tinkering with ways to make the game attractive to more folks, e.g. the new series of films Skuzzy & Co are working on.
