With all the features missing, would you call it finished?
No.
Those were also Luthiers' own words

Words to that effect was used by the poster Oleg ended up debating with on You Tube when he dropped this bomb.

I think we're in danger of acting prematurely on this 'rumour' - a POORLY translated rumour. We're in a frenzy awaiting IL2:CoD and ready to chomp the bit at any information that comes our way.

Take a breath - a deep one. Time will tell, but right now we're just swatting at ghosts.

The game comes out in a few days. Let's look forward to those and then to our own release in various countries.

However, very soon they won't have anything to sell anymore because of such approach... there is very serous crisis in game industry... there was such crisis before consoles appeared... but now it has returned..."

Well, he has been doing this for a long time, and in a genre where, frankly we're all raving lunatics. Sometimes it is good to do something else.

This is about the pc gaming market, hardcore simulations and publisher-developer relations.

It's NOT about a couple of guys on an internet forum not liking the tracer colours or the terrain textures.

I translate ALL the discussion that leads to this "statement". If people do that, will see what's that all about...

Somedays I don't want to go work too. If Oleg dislikes so much today games development, maybe he can work in some combat jet and sell it to NATO.

Maybe he need to rethink some points of the process... Invest more in the engine and let the modders do the "slave work" will be really good...

In some point BEFORE the "console crap", things work like charm this way...

Read all discussion... It's have A LOT with "a couple of guys on an internet forum not liking the tracer colours or the terrain textures" too...

But if you let this people work in mods, all will be happy. Oleg lacks this approach: fully moddable engine, free mod tools, let the "slave work" to the whinners... LOL!
