What's the problem? 1C couldn't deliver, simple fact really, and in the world of business - it's funny, because they know it too. Now stop trolling and look forward to BoS.  |
FIRST OF ALL i´m not bashing ROF nor 777, i have ROF , i paid for it and it was a great deal. I´m starting to like the game.
No, the developer was maddox games, and they did deliver, in a chaotic way, but they did, and it was getting better end better. But it was taking too much time to make something really spectacular. So 1C as publisher decided to cut it off and go for the quik buck with an average product. According to guys from 777 they are aiming for something that "works" out of the box admittely dropping the great features we already had. And of cuorse a lot of the work is already done in terms of 3d design by the guys from Maddox, so they are basically taking almost 2 years to port those models to ROF engine an improving it to be able to handle the heavy ground action in Stalingrad.
So what would have happened if Ilya came and say that even with a 75% done they were going to take another 2 years to deliver a polished battle of Stalingrad? more chaos, meanwhile 1C will see how the competition (777) was making money all that time. So what they do? merge with them so they are now controlling the whole market of prop driven combat flight simulators. Do you know who loses and who wins with this almost monopolic context? It should be obvious but i will say it just in case: WE ALL LOSE, THE CORPORATIONS WIN.
It doesnt matter if you only fly ROF without competition customers lose, now they only have to make something that is just right, no need to chase perfection, no need to take the risk of going beyond expectations, no more romanticism, no more passion, just numbers.
This is how I feel about this, but i totally understand 777 aproach and wish them total succes.
