I see real feature of gaming idustry, where also Mac take some part together with PC and concoles will be on a separate side or on the same if only they may have some still uniquie features of PC....

But where I don't see any great interests at the moment in the tablets and mobiles.

Some say that all should go for iOS... its a mistake. Some say that PC is died - its more greater mistake. Some say that only consoles may bring profit... that is also mistake (its not a mistake if the speech is about non so complex products that are going for the one time release without long life on the market).

For the stand alone products that are done only for PC, that have no analogs, that are the best, that are even in its only own small niche - there is the way to get income that to go forward.

Hope someone undertands my thoughs.

Personally i would send you on holiday for 6 months with the family, a well deserved break

Enjoy your sons younger years now, as children grow too fast.

Oleg, while we are all awaiting Eagle's Day with this sim, I just want to say

THANK YOU - CPACIbA

for the huge amount of work obviously put into it by you and your colleagues at 1C.

Also thank you for your Vision of combat flight simming.

I don't know the whole story, but I can guess that it has been a terribly stressful period lately. And that anybody would be exhausted by now, just as the sim is about to release.

I can understand the tension there will be, now that it is time for the well-deserved earnings from all the years of hard work.

What I don't know so much about is what happens behind the facade. There has been some frustration showing with the publishers I believe... Publishers are like lawyers, they always earn money on the trouble and hard work of others!

But they cannot go home and say to themselves: I really accomplished something. I made something revolutionary. I changed the history of computing.

I know those words don't feed hungry mouthes, but they are worth something! Or rather: everything.

This world is divided between creators and the rest. You have created something very valuable for very many people, and I can assure you that you will be rewarded fittingly. This sim will sell very well and for a long time. And I hope you see a good part of the earnings (Steam should get more into the developers' pockets, shouldn't it?)

I hope that you will keep working with flight simming, because - in that world - you are somebody special.
