Ask Janes how many people downloaded the USAF demo on dialup when it was released.A lot,I think,but I don't think you can ask Janes anymore.UBI will never know how many downloads they could have gotten,will they,because the magazine cds will muddle the numbers,if they even care.In reality,how many hardcore simmers,the ones that keep flight sims alive,will bother to download this game.Most would let their modems run for however long it took to try the game and I cannot believe it will increase revenue by delaying it.In the long run,UBI should care,but I really don't think this game means much to a company that cares so little about the people that run out and buy the game at full price,the minute it is available.Hype.But very bad hype in the long run.

Check it for yourself where UBI is from and where they are based.
