Evgeny: why no SOW updates any more?

[Insuber]

Any time-related discussion in this forum is turning into farce, and not for user's fault. Any engagement about release dates, updates, patches has *never* been met. So let's face reality and pass to something else. We will be pleasantly surprised one day in future to discover that a new sim has been released. Silently..

Rehards,
Insuber

I am going to try a new tact, here goes, 'I DEMAND UPDATES!!' er 'NOW'.

You never know it may just work.

There are as many steps between posting the informations about a release-date now and a silent release as there are steps of gray between black and white.

If there aren't going to be any useful updates on this forum, then I wonder if it would just be better to close it down and direct everyone back to the Ubisoft forums.

It would save 1c a bit of time and money, and everyone is used to not receiving any useful info over at Ubi anyway.

I think they haven't got any updates to show us.

Interesting point. So you say you a) don't visit the official Forums any longer because you were b) invited or officially "directed" to this place and c) were promised exclusive updates here?

Well that's really odd, because
1. This is not a forum for Storm of War, but for IL2
2. Nobody said this forum is worth any more than UBI. Infact both forums are from the publishers, neither is from Maddox-Games, the producers.
3. I don't know why you got here, but I did BECAUSE of the pictures released here. Complaining now, that this forum is useless seems a bit narrow-minded, considering that.

I think so, too. There was also no rain here for almost a month, so it's clear there are no clouds left on earth. Be sure.

I dunno how you managed extract so much hidden meaning from what I said. Were you invented by Agatha Christie?

I think the attraction of this forum for most visitors was that as Oleg and co. no longer visited Oleg's Ready Room, the place to get information on new developments, be they SoW or Il-2, was over here on the 1C forums. As there will be no new development of Il-2, and as it appears that Ubi themselves have proscribed Oleg from making updates here (or so I understand) this forum doesn't offer anything extra that the Ubi forums do.

This is not an attempt to be polemical, but a simple attempt to pose a fair question. Maintaining two forums costs both publishers money, and also splits information that is valuable to the community between two sites. It really isn't very efficient. So, is it not reasonable to ask if one or other site is absolutely necessary?

2/0 = 0 and division by zero is not allowed

Do you really think it is just a fair question with no sense behind it but just the idea that it would safe 1Cs money, since Oleg no longer posts here?

Doesn't sound that simple to me, honestly. With the same reasoning you could close down SimHQ, UBI ORR, UBI General-Forums, Russian Game Magazines, even FiringSquad.com, the RRG-Site, airwarfare.com, some photoshop-boards and the Russian Forums of this site. Oleg has posted news in a lot of medias and forums and the later for quite some time back into IL2.

Just because there is no official info on BoB makes no reason to shut down a page that is a place to talk about IL2. Well, at least not for me. Maybe the only reason why I really agree, is the fact that there are only a few threads about IL2 at all and the admins should more actively counter these repeated posts.
