For me a company that has these types of policies should be producing their own flight sims or else stay out of the virtual world!
Another thought would be maybe they produced crap planes and the Il2 sim showed them up for what they really were.

it was seen as another way of extracting money, and ubi screwed up the legal handling of the case and the display of manufacturers names on the PF box (apparently the cause of the problem). i may be wrong but i think they also went for the model kit makers as well, causing a few to pull kits from their catalogues.
