It's Friday and it's September!!

When I was talking to Ubisoft about SOW, I told them that pre-orders were being taken at play.com stating that Ubi were the publishers, James O'Riely told me he would look into this because he did not want Ubi's name assoiciated with the title, looking at play.com's recent advert for SOW they have indeed removed ubisoft's name.

Just forget about SOW for now, and join in on the DT divershion from any foolish SOW desires

I'm sure work is being done on the sim but the silence only leaves you wondering what is really going on. Oleg has made a habit of not coming through on practically every promise regarding the sim. I kind of wonder if the project really has been canceled for some time now and Oleg and a few of his more devoted team members are trying to finish the project as a indi sim and not let on, maybe out of embarrassement as he doesn't want to let the community/fans down. All of which could be for the lack of updates and so forth. Again its just a thought.

You gotta wonder how that whole Grummun fiasco affected the 1C/UBI relationship. Also we did receive a buncha planes/patches for free. I remember UBI hinting that us flight simmers were spoiled brats. When the bottom line is making a profit you wonder how UBI looked at all those patches.

Did these things permanantly sully the relation between developer and publisher?

I remember waiting for 1946 to be released & when I got it it contained 2 discs, one for the game & the other containing development shots, film, etc of SOW. That was back in 2007 (I think that was when 1946 was released)

I was there when Oleg announced SOW in person at the Birmingham flight sim show in 2004!!! beat that!

I psychicly sent him the idea in a dream one night in '03. It was supposed to be "Bob's Storm of War" not "SoW/BoB."
