Why does 1C take so long with their games?!

[Anders_And]

Well?! The first movies of CLOD were in 2005 of the moving parts in the spit cockpit...
So CLOD was in development for a looooong time! And the end result we all know. The reason we have recieved little support for CLOD except for the last 6 weeks is that they have been working hard with the sequel... Well for the sequel they need to create a new landscape and some new planes and weather... Should this take 3 years?! 2011-2013... Isnt thay was is normally required to create a game from scratch?!

This is not whining but just some questions i have!
