The sad news is that apparently there will be no sequel and CLOD is dead.

We have been requesting confirmation over and over but for the looks of it, there's no one left to answer.

Pure Speculation based on some info posted by people who aren't on the development team, don't get me wrong I'm not saying that it isn't possible just that no real info has been released.
And no one left to answer? so these people who apparently are no longer working on the sequel have also had all their computers and internet connections taken away as well?

Come on, people are yet again hailing the falling of the skies based purely on rumours, patience is indeed a rare virtue.

If the Sequel is still under development, you should have no problem setting up an appointment to go to the 1C offices in Moscow so you can get a tour of the hard working BoM/BoS team's workspace.

It's only been a few weeks since the last patch came out. We've gone much, much longer than that with no signs of life before. If Maddox Games were to be shut down and it's assets taken up by 1c, I wouldn't expect it to happen until after the Christmas season.

I don't reckon it'd come to that though. If 1c did decide to write MG off, they would more likely try to onsell to someone else.

Yes, what a completely sensible suggestion, I'll burn thousands of dollars and book a return flight from Australia to Russia just to get a tour of 1C, why didn't I think of that before, it's so obvious really.

Plus I'm sure they let just any stranger into their offices, that's what normal companies do isn't it.........right?

Maddox games are in Russia.

1C is French.

Fair enough my bad, the point still stands though plus i was just going off what Buzzsaw said

"go to the 1C offices in Moscow"

1C is also a Russia based company, Ubisoft is french. ;)

IF they have canceled BoM aka "the sequel" that doesn't necessarily mean that they have shut down 1c:Maddox at all. I mean don't hearing a word from the guys over several weeks isn't that new, isnt it. :grin:

But just for the fun of adding conspiracy theories:
Anybody assumes that 1c bought 777 but Jason already denied that in the RoF Forums, but what if 777 bought Maddox?
