Why is it assumed that the sequel would be set in Russia?

I don't reckon it'd come to that though. If 1c did decide to write MG off, they would more likely try to onsell to someone else.

IF they have canceled BoM aka "the sequel" that doesn't necessarily mean that they have shut down 1c:Maddox at all. I mean don't hearing a word from the guys over several weeks isn't that new, isnt it.

But just for the fun of adding conspiracy theories:
Anybody assumes that 1c bought 777 but Jason already denied that in the RoF Forums, but what if 777 bought Maddox?
