The Northrop Grumman Issue.

[batistadk]

This matter is the type I'm buying nowadays. I have posted complains about this terrible deal some months ago, but, besides doing this, there aren't many things to do.

We are talking here about millions of dollars and all of that shine stuff that comes with capitalism. It's terrible to know that people like those in NG Corp., tries to erase the history of their own country, based only in money interests.

Besides online sells, that I think has some volume yet, IL-2 is out of the market for a long time now. It's a 10 years old product, and if we are talking about an electronic product, this age can be considered worse. It's not a huge profitable product anymore. And it's usage nowadays is based in a very 'closed' community, most of people enthusiasts of aviation history, WWII history etc. Then, we are talking about a 'bunch of guys' that don't wanna do any money with this software, but only have some fun in their free time.

But, taking in consideration the kind of stuff we are talking about here, as quoted by Xilon_X, the problem is much worse than it could be, and show us a good motive to not see Oleg, Maddox Games, or even the Team Daidalos involved in this kind of discussion. It's like a minefield, and if thah thing is going to blow, no one wants to be close. Totally understandable and fair. Besides that, Oleg is now working in a totally different project, and I think the last thing he wanna listen is the 'NG Corp.' name.

I'm not north american. But the only real shame is access the NG Corp. site, and read all the bullshit about being american, years full of history etc. They forgot to mention that when greens come this way, all of that can be forgotten.

I think we have a strong comunity out there, and of course, a lot of talented people that understand more than me about laws, copyright issues etc. But, unless someone wants to enter in a big fight with NG Corp., and it would be, we can do nothing about this issue. So

we have to suck it up and move along.

as you said guys. Unfortunately.
