With all due respect. You pay a few bucks for software that has taken countless manhours to produce and develop and you actually believe its yours to do whatever you like. Maybe in your own home, were nobody knows or cares, but the problem here is people are taking out on the web, etc. |

The folks who did this and the one's who use it should be quashed with every legal means possible.
End of story.

It`s quite obvious that folks blaming Oleg for the whole thing let alone ingoring his personal laws need some help. |

The weak link in your analogy is that you didn't hack a file for your own personal use. If it was just that there'd be no problem. It wouldn't possibly cause problems on line.... It wouldn't cause a schism in the community. Your house would stand fine. Someone else hacked the files and supplied the means to that hack for other players, thus affecting more than the 'house' you bought. It's caused a mentality and aura of suspicion. it showcases arrogance by the hackers blaming Oleg. AND if memory serves me Oleg said there would be possible 3rd pparty measures for the fututre of IL2. (Not positive) So it potentially affected his income..... I have no personal opinion on any one who uses it, but I wish the persons who hacked the game would be honest and just say they hacked the game because they wanted to, NOT because the sounds were bad. That's the excuse. Not the reason Hell if you're gonna hack.....fix the damn AI. EDIT: I should say IMPROVE the AI. For a 6 year old game that started with a limited plane set and limited objectives, it's done fairly well. But I'm expecting more.... MUCH more with BoB. TYVM. |

So that's it huh?
We just run up the white flag and let the hackers win? Most of the UBI mods have already surrendered. Is that all there is to it? The best piece of software I've ever put on my computer, shredded to bits, online play being jeapardized, poorly done aircraft being pasted up, international laws broken, a very creative group's jobs/livelyhood possibly damaged, and we now say OK? I'm sorry, but I don't get it, at all.

Chivas,
Yes I actually believe it belongs to me just as they take my hard earned money, believe they can do with it what they like...and DO do with it what they like! It would not be nice nor right of me to have the game for 6 months or a year and then say "I want my money back as it still belongs to me and anyway, this game does not do what I want it to." I have nothing against Oleg....he has my full support and has given me a window into the past to enjoy. I would rather pay him directly and let him divide the money up into who gets what portion of it. I have no time for those lawyers who say that you buy something, but its not really yours so you cannot even lend it to someone else without breaking some law or other. I tell you something, I can see the Net going like the stock exchange where everything is based on confidence and there is only paper.....no money. I think there is a strong cultural divide between Europeans and Americans on this particular issue since in the US most things are rented, not owned. Best regards, SLP |
