Oleg's dream

SlipBall · #1 06-11-2011, 10:35 PM

I was wondering to myself what the hell happened with the whole SOW dream. I think that the third party interest that Oleg had hoped for did not materilize, causing himself to loose interest and go to pursue other adventures. Without his supervision, perfectionism, I don't see a very bright future for cod

...hope I'm wrong

I hope your wrong too SlipBall

Maybe the constant negative threads don't help?

Just a thought...

Anything broken can be fixed with the right kind of support.

Maybe if we constantly moan and whine at the devs they will get disheartened and we will loose what could be one of the greatest sims to date. But maybe if we just let them know what is broken and have a little patience the wounded bird will fly again and eventually become a swan...

This is the dream of many not of just one man.

Yea...the "heart" of the community seems to be non existent. If you show any kind of support for the development team, or what Oleg has done...people brand you a "kiss arse", or a "follower", or whatever it is that negative people say.

Realistically we'd be waiting another year atleast if they were all still incharge. Ubisoft were probably pissed that they were paying these blokes with no light at the end of the tunnel. Ubisoft wanted some return from there investment. Hence "Release the f**king thing!" order.

I think he bit off more than MG could comfortably chew. CoD became overdesigned and top heavy with complex features. He got off track between the need to make a simulator, and the urge to make a replica.

It was never Olegs way to admit an error or to back down in the face of public opinion (the 190 bar is still right and Il-2's sound is excellent, it's just our sound system that is wrong etc.). So when CoD began to look like it needed fundamental changes at a core level, he headed for the door.

I'm not too proud...to admit...that it seems, I've been had....with this "release".
All I know?
Is what is not being "said" by those who are responsible for taking my money and their apparent "lackadaisical" attitude in communicating and fixing the problem rapidly.

Yup, I freely and voluntarily spent my money on this "sim"...and with that in mind and wallet, I have freely expressed my opinion here...

Maddox left and Madhoff is in jail.....hmmm

Point to ponder: If you're hosing somebody? Say something nice, that they
want to hear.....and you can ride'm a bit longer.....
