Who thinks we've still got a sequel coming?

WOP only exists on the PC. What other platforms could he have meant?

Thank you I didn't catch that. One thing that worries me a little is when he said that

and this time we'll make sure that we'll be able to support community after release of the game - with DLCs or updates on all platforms.

I thought the only way that they could gaurantee that dlc and updates would get out for sure is if they could do it themselves, and the only way that they can do that is if they publish it it like they did with WOP and it being PC they can bypass PSN and XBL, so I don't see how they can do that without a publisher.

I do miss Anton coming in here and talking to us, I wish at somepoint he could come back.

This is great news. But it means too that now I have to hang around here all the time to see the latest news about the sequel.

The way I see it is this: Publishing contracts are not standard contracts you download from the internet and sign - they are worked out. Since there are quite a number of publishers out there who are licensed on the PS3 and XBox platforms, it seems only a matter of finding a publisher who will accept Gaijin's terms on that issue. The contracts Gaijin signed before that didn't give them the right to publish themselves even if the publisher would not want to commit, and they learned their lesson. That's how I see it.

So, while it's still early days, I'd say 'Don't worry, be Happy'.

i think its something like Mac said. they got their butts seriously chewed on the apache yuplay forum. activision is telling people to contact them for the patch when its is up top activision to release it. so some of the players there are mad as wet hens. and that makes anton and the company look bad. i believe they will put some sort of proviso in future contracts guaranteeing a fix....by who and how...who knows.
