Oleg, CrazyIvan and 1C, my first and only suggestion.

99th Patches remarked that "they're still playing ads for "Aces High" on T.V.?"

Its Pay-To-Play.

I don't think that advertising necessarily means that your money hungry, but it is absurdly expensive and has to be applied effectively. I'm painfully aware of this, as advertising expenses were contributory in the failure of my own buisness.

I was interested to see that FSX is still being advertised on big video screens in my local shopping mall. The strategy works too. I'm planning to go buy it tomorrow.

If Oleg is stuck for inspiration on how best to advertise his product, I have a suggestion for him...

Well, I don't think that Oleg (or for that part CrazyIvan) has anything to do with ads for IL2. It's not the developer that does the advertising for a game - it's the publisher... I guess that a bargain bin title like IL2-1946 gets zip from the marketing budget at UBI nowadays.

SoW is another thing. Let's hope UBI (or whoever is publishing BoB in the end) does a good job regarding marketing of SoW:BoB. So far they have done almost nothing so I hope that someone is planning something somewhere...

Oleg is developing AND publishing SoW via his own company Maddox Games, which is in partnership with 1C. Look at the top left hand logo of this forum.

I hope your right Codex, but I've never seen anything to confirm that. I believe UBI is still very much involved.

Yep your right Chivas.

I assumed that by Oleg no longer posting at UBI and no mention of UBI in any of the SoW video's on the Bonus 1946 DVD I assumed it would be all done via 1C. I apologise to all.

That is not how it works mate.... Not free to discuss any details, sorry.

As far as advertising the product, it is really Publishers job.. But in my opinion it all boils down to the prejected numbers of sales... If it was ground based FPS game with the huge audience that sells in millions, i am sure we would see something similar to COD4, etc on TV.

Already seen the error of my ways Ivan

Its the publishers job to market the game not the developers. Im sure Oleg has requested the same thing many times. Just think how many unsuspecting newbies bought the crappy sim that is always advertised during the Dogfight series.

S!
