I think this is the "money men" - as you call them - who have produced that idea from the depths of their collective ideas hat. 1C even installed a dedicated "online services department" (not just for this MMO but in general) so I guess this is a corporation-wide trend to develop such products.
Well mate, Luthier brought us "SpitGirl" and told us to "trust him on it" so all bets are off.

Who knows where the idea came from, were just guessing, but if COD had been a success, i dont think we would be talking about a MMO do you?

Which is why I wonder how 1C expects to draw anyone from community servers. MG wouldn't know good gameplay if it bit them in the hinder.

Not so fast. I remember Oleg talking about such ideas way back (when Il-2 was in its infancy). He probably tried to sell the idea of a new engine by mentioning such possibilities and the thought has stuck with the "money men". That's IMO the most likely scenario.

I feel the same way, I wish that they would leave out those childish extras.

it was just a try to bring new blood, new players from outside the sim niche, to the game.

unfortunately, it was not so well done.. it wasn't even the best way.. there were so many good stories which could have been told..

you can't blame them for the spitgirl, as it haven't done any harm to the sim itself.

Agreed 100%

Just about every game maker has included some sort of 'easter egg' in their games

Ill never forget MicroProse's Pacific Air War 1942. On the pacific map there was this 'extra' island.. And if you flew out to it.. You would see the boat from Gillgan's island and recive radio messages from the professor!

As a guy who does alot of programing (mostly embeded stuff and WSMR utilities) I know there are 'down times' where you are waiting for this or that and can not continue with what your doing until you recie this or that update from some other programer.. So instead of sitting on your hands you do 'other' things. This is where most if not all 'easter egg' stuff comes from

So to try and paint 1C as the first game maker to do this is just silly as all get out

So, for the umpteenth time in this thread. Back on topic...

Fresh Google Translate (Yoda talk) from Sukhoi today (2012-06-04) by B6 (I changed "WT" to CloD below and put in some linefeeds):

Quote:
In connection with the next Wave of alarmist rumors repeat (as an Official Representative), three Basic facts about CloD:

1) We Will continue to work on a patch for CloD and the Engine, in spite of the announcement and Development of the sequel

2) to Develop CloD, Creating New content, We do not plan to

3) The output of the Su-26 and KFOR OFFICIALLY Currently Has not Been canceled
Nice! I had given up on the Su-26... And what the heck is KFOR? SDK?
