It certainly fails to hold my interest I'm afraid.

The slightly deceptive(?) EA of BOS may have had contributed to some of its success. BOM not so much I'd imagine


What we want out of these sims as enthusiasts is much different than what the average player does. I trust in time and with enough community involvement it will happen. If a developer tailored the basic product too much towards the enthusiast they'd lose the larger casual player base. Specifically the larger more complex campaigns which appeal to is it sounds as if they just aren't approachable for the average player.


I think this is where the Steam charts are relevant. The "enthusiasts" would likely be the ones that signed on for the early access before there was any release on Steam and were pretty much made up of hardcore fans of the series. The numbers on Steam reflect more of the "average" player�and those numbers are seriously low. Since 1C/777 have Steam keys for EA folks to link to their Steam account�those numbers are still very weak.

It begs to question why they keep marketing to the "average" player when it's pretty obvious the average player isn't interested.
