I do know they are a business and their main aim is to make money, and we're potential costumers. I guess they have done their market research and have determined 55 USD is an adequate price (40€). To me, it seems too high for the coming changes and additions. Maybe I'll try the demo and I'll have so much fun moving T-34s around that $55 will seem OK.

Game development is not plug and play nor easy or cheap, but it's not the same to build a KV-2 from scratch than to modify a PzIIIg to make it become a IIIf. Attention to detail is nice but what would be of the CMx2 vehicles if it wasn't for the user made skins.

I honestly don't know how a game engine can be coded for a particular year in WWII. I mean, the 'physics' should be the same, and there's a good bunch of early war equipment in game.

I get it completely, just keep rebuilding the same crap over and over. So they will come out with a newer engine and then call it CM3 and release CM3 OVERLORD which will look a heck of a lot like CM2 but maybe run faster and tanks won't spin in place when told to back up.

Am I to feel sorry for game developers? They didn't have to take a job as a game developer, I hear the army in every country of the world is actively recruiting every day.
