I forgot to comment on this:
At the same time you only spread negativity against people like BIS who seem only to want to destroy Arma with their intentionally fucked up patches - sorry, but by saying things like this you prove that you know nothing about the complexity of game programming.
I don't spread "negativity" any more than Matt has in privet chats,but you are pointing out what many people who play this game think both in privet and public..."WTF was BI thinking with that last patch?".
What I don't understand is why if -I- say the same things (which is almost a non-happening event) you would claim proof that I have no understanding about the complexity of game programming.
For Christs sake all it takes is 4-5 PAID PROFESSONAL TESTERS to insure that a product does NOT have bugs/ill effects in a patch.
EA and most companies use such 3rd party testing companies and I know some of the people who work for one such (highly/often used/perhaps worlds best) company in Santa Monica,California.
Those guys are allot of fun to BBQ,drink and smoke with as well as earn the money they are paid.
Really sharp people,if it can be crashed then they will be able to do it.
They also love to party like the world ends at midnight.
The problems come when you try to do things "on the cheep",you get what you pay for.
A little known fact is that I BOUGHT a copy of ArmA Gold,only the 2nd boxed software I have PAID for in more than the past 23-25 years...no,it's been 25 years.
I talk with the people who own the companies who host ArmA servers (and other games),testers,programmers and so on.
I like the game enough to
buy it and believe it or not have never personally cheated in an on line contest,yet I do now and then like to have some "fun".
I find humor in how often people contact the TKC sysop (Mullah Omar) in PM or ICQ to attempt to scam him while they
never attempt the same with myself.
I think I have a grip on how things work.
