ubi has only mentioned a d/l version. no US game sites have it even listed as a "coming soon"...

Im waiting for the "omg they changed my pre-order to april 19!!" thread.

I went into a shop called "GAME" its pretty big chain here in the UK.
They have sheets sent to the stores monthly to check about whats in the stores during the year.
The guy behind the counter i asked, who was a FS fan and had played all the IL2 games was quite excited as, check this.. he had never heard of Cliffs of Dover (Storm Of War) and it definitely wasnt on his games list sheets either.
They had games listed all the way through to DECEMBER 2011!

And now checked the GB UBI site, no longer can you pre-order the CE either, its back to the regular edition which has been bumped up £10 more than other main releases.

RETARDED Marketing RESULTS in Piracy and POOR Sales, Worst case, UBI dont make a profit, and 1C could be left to carry the can.

UBI get your butts together and advertise this game!!

i am confused EXAMPLE:
MICROSOFT is only MICROSOFT and FSX is microsoft.

CLIFFS of DOVER is 1C company why 1C Company use UBISOFT?

CLIFFS of DOVER is only 1C Company..........NO UBISOFT.

They are probably bound by a deal, say, they (UBI) published IL2 Sturmovik (first game) when 1C was a small company, 1C team were contracted to have UBI as publisher for the next, i dont know, say 5 games or they dont publish IL2 Sturmovik (first game). Thats normally how the publishing business kinda works.

It'll be completely silly to not offer a DVD option.
No need to discuss the consequences of such a retarded policy.

All in all, all latest information seem to lead that game is rushed to be released and most probably there will be dissapointment to the customers.
I find it I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E that a game that we're waiting for more than 5 years is not listed in Amazon.co.uk just 20 days before its announced release. There are thousands of people who were "living" for this game in all these years and this mess shows clearly that many things are wrong here.

Anyway, we're still hoping of problems to dissapear!

1C = Developer, like Author of book.

Ubi = Publisher.

1C *must* find publisher to print and distribute software becuase they do not have the ability (but does not have to be Ubi).


*However*, with the ability to download games today, it is possible to do it directly (need a LOT of bandwidth), or service like Steam.
It might not be easy, not sure cost nor how good marketing it.

Would it be possible to download the game and copy it and put it on a CD? Then you have a CD, of course a boxed version which you don't have to download is better, I think.

Thats exactly what I've done every time I have bought digitally, but remember this you WILL pay more for the digital download for sure. Maybe thats where this is going, hmmm .......

The information at least some of you have gotten from your resellers may not necessarily be accurate.

Just to let you guys know that we didn't want to respond here until we learned what was going on ourselves.

I still don't have the full details, but I can tell you some things for sure right now:

1. The Special Edition is still being published

2. I'm not sure about regions where it will be availability at retail outlets vs online ordering, but at least the online version should be available worldwide.

We'll keep you updated. Rest assured, we really appreciate your support and we are really hoping you'll get what you want, and not just in terms of goodies!

thanks for the update Luthier I got a question i'm sure most people will have on their lips, Do you know if this hiccup is going to effect the release date?
