I agree with most of what you write, Ataros, but I don't agree with this. Technically you may be correct but it is so hugely in 1C's interest to promote in the west that in reality rather than technicality you are wrong.
Fact: Ubi is doing a rubbish job at promoting/communicating.
Fact: Promotion is required outside of Russia.
Result: 1C is promoting/communicating outside Russia.
Unfortunately, the way business works is that very little is done for "goodwill", at least in my experience. The party who has most skin in the game always ends up picking up the slack.
The existence of this forum? Due to the fact that promotion is required. If you wish to drag goodwill into the picture then it is limited to the fact that goodwill from the customer is required for the next purchase. Luthier has already made his views of this forum quite plain - I doubt he would bother if he really had a choice!
Having said all that, I'm having an absolute blast online whilst patiently waiting for the patch and looking forward to BoM immensely.
