Beating a dead horse

[Golf Pro]

I don't know really, I think the whole modding thing is either a threat or an opportunity depending on how you respond to it. Yes, it could compete with the original product, but on the other hand it does encourage people to buy the original product (if only to use the mods) and it shows what could have been done with the original product. I hope the mods have encouraged more sales of 1946 (so Ubi does get a few extra pennies) but I also think that a e.g. BoB scenario using the Il-2 engine would have made mucho dinero for 1c without the huge effort of SoW. It wouldn't have been as good, obviously, but it would have kept the community occupied while work for SoW went on in the background.

This is all spilt milk, we are where we are etc. But really, I think Oleg should sometimes get less obsessed with state-of-the-art physics models, and see the potential of other areas of his sims, such as maps, textures, ground objects, skins etc. etc. There is much more "stretch" in these than he perhaps thinks. His basic work is so good, he could do a lot more with it than he perhaps thinks.
