They usually work 10-12 hours a day and sometimes more here in Russia. Overtime hours are not paid by a company usually. The legislation is poor in this respect.

I think this is one of reasons sim devs can make ends meet in Russia only. In any other country but China it would not be possible. I have seen a thread where employees of both 777 and DCS shared the same problem that the companies hardly meet ends even with low salaries and extra hours (and they charge per aircraft btw). I think CoD, RoF and DCS are the last complex sim series we see in our lifes. All others will be WoP style at best.

I live in Romania, is the same in here as in there: long not-paid extra hours. so what? I still have time to live, post in here, read, play games, watch movies, eat, sleep, make sex, get out with friends and tons of other normal things.

Sorry, mate but THIS is hillarious, indeed... What about ROF guys? They have no problem to answer many questions... Jason is writing there too... He was even writing on forum from E3, when there was problem with credit card payments... It is all about priorities... They were answering, writing even before very important patch, which WAS NOT a disaster like CLOD ones. This is just so poor excuses... Oh poor russian devs... Only they are working 10-12 hours a day...
Look... it is all about will and about having something to say/write.

My theory is quite simple - there is no news, so no "news update"...

They have new guy for sounds right? why not to make some simple update about his work? some samples or video inside game? just this... it is not so much, but people would appreciate it.

What about them? They don't provide updates on patches. Ask them when the next patch is coming and they ignore you.

Did I said so? Here is NO, I repeat to David, read it slowly, bull - NO - reply from any CLOD developers. On ROF forums many people from 777 or with very close connection are writing or responding on daily basis - and yes, they do speak english!

I am not giving here stupid examples or excuses why there is no communication between customers and developers. People just feel left behind. No interest. No nothing. And if something, it is BS...

I absolutely understand this change in mood here since last four weeks...

That is EXACTLY what you are asking for. You want Luthier to hold your hand while they work on updates. Well, despite your claims, 777 does nothing of the sort. You get the update when it is ready, and they don't hold your hand while you wait for it.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard today! If you have no idea of something, then keep your unqualified statements for you!

Thanks

Prove me wrong. Go to the RoF forum and ask them when the next update is coming. Or ask when the next aircraft is going to be released. Or when the flight models are going to be reviewed. Then let us know what kind of response you get.
