IMHO that did not happen.. For some of the very reasons you just got done pointing out

There is no ONE GUY

It is a team, like your movie making analogy.. Oleg would be the director

Which means the guy holding the camera (writing FM code) would not be affected by the director being replaced, other than to make changes to the code that the new director requested.. if any. That is to say the orginal director did not take the camera/film with him when he left

The best news we have got this year was from one or two updates ago, Where Luither stated that the '1C' way of doing things with IL2 will be done with CoD.. Where sequals will add new features, upgrade features, add new content (planes, maps, etc)

So, a few years from now we will be looking back at CoD much like we now look at the orginal IL-2 software.. A foundation that took hold!!
