Thats a good question Tree. It has been discussed many times but no answers as of yet. The developer has stated they could have released SOW awhile ago if they wanted, but it didn't fit their vision of the final product. Maybe the publisher wanted them to release that product, but the developer prefered to make SOW cinematic with more features to expand their market i.e. CGI. In the mean time they could release more paid addons to the IL-2 series. UBI had no problem selling those addons. We haven't heard a word from UBI since. Ruffled feathers, plus Lawyers, equals silence. It could also be that after UBI got burnt with that statement, and decided not to say anything about the product until they had a more solid release date. Or maybe they are no longer involved as your investigation seems to bare out.
I really don't care if UBI is involved or not. We will be able to buy the product from another publisher or on-line with no publisher involved, even with lawyers involved.
