Thinking about this all this MMO plan - which I doubt came from Maddox Games but rather the people who sign their pay checks - it seems to be the primary reason why the extremely problematic release hasn't led to 1C abandoning the Il-2 franchise so far. I was wondering why the management backed this franchise after all the troubles ... maybe that's why.
Now, does this coming announcement mean that the 1C management has really gone off the deep end and has thrown itself into yet another erratic and totally illogical development strategy or are they so convinced of Maddox Games' work that they plan to branch out the Il-2 franchise into more than the planned "ordinary" theme-based releases? I don't know but I guess only time will tell. Anyway ... Maddox Games will have to fix the CloD engine before all those grand ideas can be tackled because without a working engine this MMO (as any successive Il-2 release) will be stillborn.
