I think, and some might agree, that it is not really important - who the publisher is... what is important, that future sim is being developed, which simply means that obviously there is someone financing it and it`s a good thing. Whoever will introduce it to the west and the east, doesnt really matter at this point. Just a thought...

I agree with you 100% Ivan. However It would be nice to have someone from Oleg/crew to make a post stressing to forum users not to waste their hard earned cash by pre-ordering SOW from newegg and expecting it to drop on their doormat on 02/09/2008. The whole reason i phoned ubisoft was to clarify the release date that Newegg were advertising and taking money for. Where Newegg are getting their information from clearly needs investigating.

You know what guys it would be really good if we could get a teamspeak channel one night and have a proper discussion.

I hope that the game is released soon, thing's are really heating up over the missle defence shield. I can see a trade problem developing over this

Agreed, would be rather tough to purchase in the middle of a world war.....

If that was the case I think we would have a lot more to worry about than the release of a flight sim.

When the lack of info starts causing so many problems with your consumer base - it's normally wise for the companies involved to divulge a little info to prevent that consumer base loosing faith in the product; Be it in the computer game market, movie industry, music industry, infact pretty much any creative industry!
If you start alienating your consumers you are going to damage your sales. Right now IL2 / SOW is the only flight sim that has such a large following and as far as I am aware there are not a huge amount of games lined up that will rival it - however, you simply cannot run the risk of everyone jumping ship and going onto WW2 online, BOBII or any of the other flight sims that are constantly being updated/added to - or even ones that are in development! This information blockout is simply bad business, there is no way you can justify it being a business strategy! It is caused by legal issues, bad communications, lack of customer focus or other BS. I am very happy with IL2 46, and I am happy to wait for SOW for a reasonable time framem however the complete lack of information is very discouraging to many people, and I feel that this is going to damage SOWs sales as your pre release support has been non-existant - how are people going to expect your post sales support to be any better? Ivan - I know you cannot say what is what, and I am sure none of us would not want to put you in a position where your role is threatened due to the community - however, it seems prudent that you talk to those in the know and tell them of all you see here: the confusion, the anger, the fustration, the speculation, the mis-information, the dying hope, in order to help the community, and to help the company. However good SOW is, if the blackout continues over the coming months and years I am certain the amount of wallets eagerly awaiting it will dwindle to such an extent that breaking even is not even going to be on the cards.
