seems the trolls and whiners are running wild with this, and there are no real facts to go by
the most serious problems with CoD have been fixed in the last few months, and since the recent official patch runs very well for most people (for those that have actually tried it, and dont just mindlessly repeat old negative crap which shows their ignorance and lack of knowledge)
most work on BoM has already been completed in the last year (remember, its what they were working on for almost 18 months now with a 15 man team while NOT fixing CoD), and BoM could be released early in 2013 to quickly create a new revenue stream with significantly better sales then CoD
the main CoD flightsim forums are in the last couple of months again filled with positive user reports and many people are returning to the sim and enjoying the good parts.
all that is now needed is for a few of the main flightsim websites to re-evaluate the sim and write a more positive review, and the whole negative saga is behind us

(doesnt mean there are no bugs left or issues to fix, but most are relatively minor now and can be addressed as part of the final BoM development phase).
to abandon BoM now would make no commercial sense at all
