Quick epilepsy update

Also Ilya's assurance ^ that there will be no difference other than language - this would also make sense regarding unified patches & updates - supports a single global game engine. There will be one game - the Russian release was never subject to epilepsy considerations, it would not make sense to now cripple it by (re)coding in line with a hobbled western release.

Yes, good points, thanks.

It was only the other day Ilya posted about the fact that they were still working on the long term solution and that this filter was temporary, and the recent news that the filter was going to be optional didn't also state that the other plans had been scrapped, so I assumed they weren't. I hope you're right anyway.
