Good sense says," Oleg will release the BOB SOW through a distributor".
There is just too much impetus created marketing wise by going through distributors. They promote the heck out of products through press releases, trade shows, etc. It is just amazing how much more in sales will be achieved by using a competent distributor.
I wouldn't think Oleg would take the chance on recovering all his already "sunk" costs by doing a download thingy to a the dedicated IL2 few. There are a lot of sales that pass by the cash registers that never perk much interest in the buyer. There are plenty of impulse buyers that would never be interested to do anything with it after they get it. The learning threshold can be pretty tough on alot of people.
Don't bother me to get a copy at Wal-mart, EB, gamestop,etc. I bought the 1946 at wal-mart I didn't flinch at paying retail for it. Then of course I knew what I was getting... an anthology of five plus years of the best air combat simulation game ever developed. LOL
