Nothing we do could hurt NG.
NOTHING.
Methinks you wildly overestimate the importance of gamers in the great scheme of things.
A "six figure" amount to NG is mere pocket change, unlike what it is to Maddox Games.
They wanted to set a precedent, and they selected the weakest kid on the block to pick a fight with. Now they can hold IL2 up as an example to the really big kids, EA, Sony, etc... and say, see, pay us the royalty or you end up like those Russians did. And the big console game makers just write a check and move along because they are swimming in money compared to a PC devloper like Maddox Games.
