Thank you for your response. Can I ask when the last time and version you played?
I just tried looking, but part of the refund was that I delete my copy so I don't have an install folder to check anymore.
I wasn't trying to bash the game.
What I don't like is when the few people who do play misrepresent what a patch does. I have seen that in several games. The game sucks at first and you go do something else waiting for patches. Some people keep with the game. For every patch that comes out they misrepresent the state of the new version one-sidedly pointing out the fixes and keeping completely quiet about the things that are still broken, not to mention new issues introduced with the code changes. This was pretty extreme for CMx2, too. All the pathing, spotting and cover issues that are still in there 6 years after were according to the forum posters fixed in every single patch from the first month on.
I don't care about the money, and even if I did it's gone anyway when I purchase the original game. But what I do care about is how these people waste my time. And it doesn't help that most wargames have very bad patching mechanism that waste even more time.
Really, nothing against Scott. He handles this fine as far as policies are concerned (refund etc), and how much time he invests in fixing is what it is. But some of the people who stay with those broken-on-release game lack background in gaming and can't put brokenness into perspective. And then they misrepresent the state of the game.
