I don't blame him with all the whining on here.

The green needs to be a different shade.
The windscreen has the wrong coating.
The wheels are too big/small

etc

The game looks great, I hope at least he makes enough to retire.

Heh,its reminds my a story when Michael Jordan left NBA and start to play baseball.And we know very well how the story ended.

From what i understood, Oleg is angry with the publisher...

@Bowtome, don't jump on conclusions that are not written in the message Oleg wrote, he is not blaming the users

What is he going to do run a Mcdonalds, if he did say that he probably was just pissed off. While Im sure developing a sim is frustrating, working for yourself if you can make a decent living is still better than workin for the man.

Don't forget he did do an interview a while ago saying he was going to do something else ,if the game is completed he has got to move on to make a living.
It is now in the hands of the publishers and advertising teams,the development side SHOULD really be done for the time being.

Seems that my joke last year about 'yak-farming in the Crimea' may not have been that wide of the mark.

I think what he said was that he would do other thing at the same time as CoD. Judging from this post (hope its just bade translation) hes more than ticked of at UBI.

Either way, Oleg leaving game development entirely would be a loss of epic proportions.

Its not so far of thinking that he cant "leave" UBI. They simply own the publishing rights in the west so seeing a "new" Oleg and team independent from UBI is highly unlikely.
