Oleg leaving game development (CoD)?

[Freycinet]

Oleg, while we are all awaiting Eagle's Day with this sim, I just want to say

THANK YOU - CPACIbA

for the huge amount of work obviously put into it by you and your colleagues at 1C.

Also thank you for your Vision of combat flight simming.

I don't know the whole story, but I can guess that it has been a terribly stressful period lately. And that anybody would be exhausted by now, just as the sim is about to release.

I can understand the tension there will be, now that it is time for the well-deserved earnings from all the years of hard work.

What I don't know so much about is what happens behind the facade. There has been some frustration showing with the publishers I believe... Publishers are like lawyers, they always earn money on the trouble and hard work of others!

But they cannot go home and say to themselves: I really accomplished something. I made something revolutionary. I changed the history of computing.

I know those words don't feed hungry mouthes, but they are worth something! Or rather: everything.

This world is divided between creators and the rest. You have created something very valuable for very many people, and I can assure you that you will be rewarded fittingly. This sim will sell very well and for a long time. And I hope you see a good part of the earnings (Steam should get more into the developers' pockets, shouldn't it?)

I hope that you will keep working with flight simming, because - in that world - you are somebody special.
