I bet Ubisoft told MG that if they wanted to get CloD published in the EU they had to implement the anti-epilepsy filter most likely because of EU legislation or Ubisofts own policy. I would bet cold cash that Ubisoft is merely the publisher for CloD in the EU/rest of the world. Their job was to manufacture the DVD's, make sure they ended up in retail and also do the marketing for CloD which would also explain why the marketing was so meager for CloD. CloD is no Assassin's Creed for Ubisoft, that game is developed and published by Ubisoft alone, 1c:MG probably had some relations with Ubisoft since the old IL-2 series and asked them if they would be so kind to publish CloD for them outside of Russia/eastern Europe. IMO and from what I understand from previous posts is that Ubisoft is not a dictating force in this farce of a game release.

P.S Just like it was with the original IL-2 Sturmovik, blue-byte was the original publisher but MG needed a bigger partner to get the game out in retail worldwide, Ubisoft fit the bill.
