Oleg's dream

You people have a totally wrong impression of what Oleg was and what he could do. Maddox Games was and is just a very small branch of the juggernaut 1C. 1C is comparable in size with EA, just to give you an idea of the dimensions involved. As such Oleg never had that much say when it came to whom 1C deals with. And he certainly never had the freedom to decide to give Ubi a kick in the hinder and publish things alone - those things were decided by people with a lot more say within 1C. He was certainly asked, but in the end it was not his voice that mattered.

Uhhh aren't we forgetting that this game is in its' infancy.

Third-parties don't even know how it works yet so how are they supposed to contribute when even the developers of the software are still struggling to tame it?

Sorry, but I find this thread to be irrational and excessively premature. It's now a fact of life that games develop as they grow older, get used to it and learn to love it because the upshot of this is that we end up with an evolving product which, hopefully, improves rather than a static one that doesn't.
