Hello all,

Could someone please share their knowledge on how this industry works? Who is 1C, who is Gaijin, who is 505 games, who is Yuplay?

What do they do?

What is their relationship?

Is BOP related to IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 apart from carrying the IL-2 Sturmovik tag?

Are the people who are working on Storm of War the same who were working on BOP and are working of a sequel (at least of WOP)?

Thanks for sharing!
