Will COD be avaliable through 1c? - Page 2

I wouldn't count on Russian version supporting English language in any official way. You western fellas have to remember that PC games in our (eastern) part of the Europe are sold cheaper to make up for a big difference in earnings of average customer. So these editions of the games are hardcoded to be used in eastern countries only (language, region locking etc.), otherwise some smart guys from the West would immediately buy all copies at half the price here, just to sell them immediately on "your side" and make lots of easy money

.

Well, there's always option of cracking/modding "eastern" edition of a game (translating all the interface back to English etc.) but it would definitely take more time compared to waiting one more week/month for UK/US "proper" release.

Cheers.

I'd rather give them the finger and buy straight from 1C.

I think that A LARGE MAJORITY of Il-2 fans would rather buy from 1C. We were predicting bad things to happen when we knew Ubi was the publisher. If Ubi cant/wont provide CE or DVDs for other parts of the world then 1C should be able to give the fans what they want. simples.

I wish it was that simple. With UBI loosing money at this time, they would be on top of 1C with all kind of lawsuits and demands to get money off them.

Is the CE available in Russia?

The publisher is usually the one that pays for the game to be developed thats why they have all the say so as to who and when it goes on sale.
