time to ask Oleg again

[Flyby]

Chivas,
If Oleg is holding out on substantial updates because he's concerned about UBI (hereafter known as the Evil Empire) casting it's dark shadow, what's to prevent UBI from casting that shadow after the sim is released? Not to mention any updates that might be released between now and then? I don't get that. But maybe it's because Oleg has had to discard any resemblance of any work he'd done while in the clutches of the Evil Empire, and has basically had to start anew? hmmm...
