Maybe the "Modded car anology" is a good one here. You buy a car from a car company. Now there is a whole industry built up on modding those original cars isn't there? In fact modders even routinely hack the cars cpu computer software to make performance mods for these very same cars and they all sell these performance mods without any money going back to the original company that I know of. What is the difference here? The EULA?
No one is selling original Il-2 games here. Hell, they aren't even making any money on the mods even. All I see is a bunch of whiney baby on-liners making all kinds of excuses up why no one should touch their precious game whatsoever because someone may just cheat on them in on-line play.
Isn't this why software like "punkbusters" was invented? Seems to me it is up to the servers to inforce cheating rules and not on-line whiners...
To me many the on-line crowd are extreamly selfish. They think not a bit about the non-onliners whatsoever just that someone may cheat on them in some on-line game. IMO these complainers more often then not are substandard pilots. Hell i see these same type of complainers whine about the game's ai cheating them even!
