Will SoW be boring and superficial?

The guys that code this game are smart. I think if great apps like DCG can be designed w/ little or no help from the developers, I have no doubt with minimal resources, 1c could create a more immersive campaign driven environment. Hell, they should just reverse engineer some classic games and just 'borrow' stuff. The problem BOB will face is a far smarter audience that have grown accustomed to tight story/campaign driven games thanks the explosion of consoles like xbox360 and ps3. I could list a ton of games that have awesome campaign based content but like others have said, you have to have creative folks involved in the process and not just lab coat wearing pinheads that know 1s and 0s and code in machine language. Nobody will argue the simple fact that the 1c guys are flight sim geniuses. They are but have zero creativity. Just bring in a few creative gurus and it's game on.
