nonsense
1c management only stuck it out with oleg's delays because of olegs reputation and long track record of success. they didnt fund it because they liked it, they didnt fund it because they thought it was good, they funded it because its high reputation in the sim community gave them kudos and improved the reputation of their company as a whole
once they realized 7 years to late that they should have watched over it more closely, they had the next manger (luthier) on a very short leech and him having to constantly justify every decision he made, with them breathing down his neck to start getting it to make money for them and recoup some of their losses

to 1c management 777 is like a wet dream, imagine selling people a game and every month you resell them some bit of trivia addon, perpetually milking the customers further. but here is the catch, its a parasitic sales model that is not sustainable. do you really think that the same people who just spent 500$ on RoF in the last 2 years are ready to do it again for the next game they come up with, i think not.
