And no one left to answer? so these people who apparently are no longer working on the sequel have also had all their computers and internet connections taken away as well?

Come on, people are yet again hailing the falling of the skies based purely on rumours, patience is indeed a rare virtue.

If the Sequel is still under development, you should have no problem setting up an appointment to go to the 1C offices in Moscow so you can get a tour of the hard working BoM/BoS team's workspace.
