John Kettler Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 BFC, one of my wargaming colleagues posted a CMSF 2 video which is part of a tutorial series. In it, the man doing that tutorial indicated he was using the Steam version. What concerns me, and may concern you if inaccurate, is the following exchange describing the Steam version. Also, my wargaming colleague told another one that there was no Mac support for this game on Steam, but the way it was phrased indicated that might apply generally to Steam. Either way, I don't know for I don't use it. The things I've mentioned may or may not be issues, but I thought I'd let you know, since these could impact your sales. This video is barely up and already has over 1600 views. Bravescot2 days ago Having looked it over on Steam, seems like the best option for getting this is to go through the actual website rather than Steam. Devs just took the ageing system and threw it at steam at full price and went “yeah this is fine”. Real shame as when I heard the new it was coming I was over the moon thinking it might get a bit of a fix up....but no. REPLY Hide 2 replies thehistoricalgamer 2 days ago I believe it's currently on Moduel 4 of the engine so it is a remastered version of Shock Force 1, basically all the enhancements that came with Battle for Normandy, Fortress Italy, Black Sea, etc... all rolled into this game. May not be your cup of tea but I think it's worth it. REPLY Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I think the general consensus is let 'em rant & rave all they want over at Steam. As long as the game sells that's all that matters. BFC will moderate their own board and Steam/Slitherine can moderate theirs. It is a bit amusing, though, to see tutorials and play-throughs on Youtube from guys who apparently only played the CM series twice before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Whats inaccurate? I don't want to watch a video for 35 minutes just to find out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchenar Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Everything you've quoted seems accurate and fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) MikeyD, Understood. Didn't want BFC to be potentially harmed by misinformation, if any was being disseminated. As of last channel update (August 31st), views have risen to 1935. Bufo, The relevant info's all in the OP, so no need to watch the video at all.

akd Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) There is zero need to repost comments from someone’s YouTube channel on the BFC forums, especially one that the channel host already addressed. Could be considered trolling. Edited September 5, 2020 by akd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I've had a jolly time watching Steam-related CMSF2 Youtube videos from payers who make up for their lack of skill by a great deal of enthusiasm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) akd, There was zero intent to troll, only to inform BFC of something I'd seen which could possibly negatively impact the firm.
