A NOTE ABOUT EPILEPSY
I would like to point out that epilepsy is a serious issue, people sometimes can go through their entire life never knowing they have epilepsy until they play a video game.
It may surprise some people to know that almost everyone, and I mean everyone, will have an epileptic seizure at least once on their life. These seizures will 99% of the time only last for a split second and you will most likely never know you've had one. But epilepsy has varying levels of severity, and as you'll know there are those people that suffer from its symptoms on a regular basis, sometimes hourly. If you've ever been close to someone or know someone who suffers from it, it is a scary experience to behold.
So ... I completely understand why Oleg and Luthier have to implement this limitation to CoD.
Now to my position on this ... I'm going to sound contradictory here but anyway ...

Well that is it then, this is a deal breaker for me. I'm not directing this at Oleg and his team personally, but I don't spend $$$$ (yes $thousands$) on having a high end gaming system with multi-gpu's to have my gaming experience nerfed by some legal - suit wearing - OMG we'll be sued - dickless yupi. This has just taken things too far, it is sufficient (in my eyes) to simply place a warning message on the manual and even a pop-up message on screen before the game starts. Personally I'd advise Oleg and Team to seek their own legal advise AND DITCH UBI ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!
It pains me to say this but I've cancelled my order. I'll stick with IL-2
P.S.
