Sad if it is BUT he has been doing this now for a long time,everyone needs a change.
I wouldn't worry too much ,as long as the developers and programmers are still involved once the basics are down and working correctly developments will still appear.
Where there's a will there's a way ,look how il2 has been improved and given a new lease of life.
Good luck to Oleg if he does finish,maybe in time he will come back and have a renewed vigour.
Don't forget this is the beginning of the next step.

I don't blame him with all the whining on here.

The green needs to be a different shade.
The windscreen has the wrong coating.
The wheels are too big/small

etc

The game looks great, I hope at least he makes enough to retire.

Heh,its reminds my a story when Michael Jordan left NBA and start to play baseball.And we know very well how the story ended.

From what i understood, Oleg is angry with the publisher...

@Bowtome, don't jump on conclusions that are not written in the message Oleg wrote, he is not blaming the users

I think the man just needs a vacation. Last video I saw him in, he looked a little run down. Oleg, if you read this, take my advice. Go on vacation after CoD comes out. Maybe 2-3 months. Then come back and enjoy your masterpiece with us all online. We all want to shoot you down.

I'm sure you also want to shoot many of use down too!

I agree Oleg, its easier to be a salesman...buy and sell with a stupid smile....when you actually DO something with love, perfection and devotion like you do, almost everybody will spit and sh*t on your work (or on part of your work) and have a need to say something very smart. I experienced something similar. Please, for the sake of us who are not in that wagon - stay with us. You can still do photography hehe....at least now when the sim will go out..

something for you my friend:

What an odd thing to say just before a major release. I can understand where he's coming from but I question the timing.

People are going to worry that the game's a flop or that it won't be supported after release.

Hopefully it was a knee jerk late night post, it would be a huge loss if he left the industry.

I doubt it has anything to do with the quality of the game itself its been in development for 6 years so no one will be fooled by buying this be sure, however post launch support might change a bit depending on who takes over the project.
