You still haven't responded to any of my points. NG isn't going around starting wars, they're simply a corporation like any other, interested in business and making money. As I've said, they way they pushed around 1C here was completely wrong, but major companies fire similar trademark related lawsuits all the time. Yes it sucks, but there's nothing we can do about it. Now, if Ubisoft had given 1C some halfway decent support, this issue could have been worked out in a manner that would have allowed us to have all of these aircraft.
I don't care what you think of Northrop's CEOs or lawyers, but what's your problem with the average worker? As someone who works for a small firm manufacturing engine components, I'd be damned pleased if I ended up working for NG someday.
We can't keep flying B-52s and F-15s forever. There are many, many things in America's military due to be phased out in the coming years. Having such industry here in the United States sure beats having to import everything or eventually letting our military degrade to third-world status. I just wish there hadn't been so much consolidation over the years. It wasn't that long ago when McDonnell Douglas, Grumman, North American/Rockwell International, Vought, and Republic/Fairchild were all their own companies.
