Anyone remember a sim that divided us as much as COD?

Wasn`t that Ubi that forced the release? Why do you blame 1c for every single problem in the world?

1C did lose, to UBI, the naming right to the CLoD sim

UBI the western publisher has very little control of anything to do with COD or its sequels. The IC Company and Russian publisher is the main financer and controller of the IC Maddox Games development.

I`ll ask again then. Who forced the western release? Ubi or 1C?

Instead it's an hard question... I honestly don't know.

Do you know the answer?

Is it written somewhere?


Anyway you don't release a product in that condition. Because this is business, not "art". Imo the current developers are not totally guilty. I think it's a management's issue, having similar issues myself in the past.

Instead if you look at the lack of communication then IMO it's both 1C's and ubi's objective fault.
Just wait the day guys will start complaining directly to the publishers... that can be the end for CloD. But we're not so bad and we limit the complaining to this message board.

I doubt it would be the end of CoD, maybe. It depends on how the developer "uses" the complaints. They can either disregard the community or take the complaints and use them for the greater good.

Example: http://blog.bioware.com/2012/03/21/4108/

To date I think the guys have been doing the best with what they've got. It's a small team developing an extremely complex piece of software, compare that to the FPS genre where you have a huge dev team working on mainly eye-candy.

Could you be more specific? AFAIK those people that weren`t satisfied demanded their refund @Ubi and got it. So if you have something else in mind please share.

SO.... UBI named the sim Cliffs of Dover, much to the upset of Maddox Games and the sim (western version) was force released by UBI. The original title for the sim was; "Storm of War: the Battle of Brittain".

You (et al) keep on complaining about lack of communication... fair enough - why should they, when greeted with hostility.

You (at al) keep on banging on about business and "management issue"... well good again. Who creates the sim and who publishes the sim?

and further good for you (et al) for just limiting the whining to this board... though, is it getting you (et al) anywhere?
