Evgeny: why no SOW updates any more?

I agree, we were told that updates/news would come more frequently but we just get the occasional 3D models. Like i have already stated some of the big selling shops around here such as 'Game' have looked into SOW and have told me that they can find no information on it at all other than the old release dates, they believe that the whole project must of been shelved or scrapped. Again i doubt that this is the case but if a big company like 'Game' are telling this to customers then its bound to raise questions. Some people have even had their pre-orders refunded from online gaming stores, the speculation has to whether this sim is dead can only be addressed by a few parties who are genuinely in the know. These people in my opinion should be doing all they can to keep us all on board and up to date, after all we will be their customers, so it seems a very strange marketing tactic to give so little info away if the sim is anywhere near completion. If you do a Google search for Storm Of War there is nothing official from anybody. I personally think that the sim is a very long way off completion and if we see it before 2010 i will be happy.

Well we usually get the answer that the developers are too busy to post updates,but really,it would take 2 minutes to do it.

NOTHING official?

This is one of the first links I get from google, a 3 seconds search and all of this information is official, though part of it is translated to German in this thread.

Yeah - and what pure oddity and coincidence, that these informations stopped just 11 days before the deal with 1C and ATARI was publically announced on 05/23/2007 and UBI restated their contracts about the StormOfWar-Engine.


And STILL people are bashing 1C and Maddox Games...

Im not bashing anyone, i would just like to be kept more informed and have frequent updates, i fail to see why you are so opposed to this. You have directed me to an old website that has had only a couple of updates since its creation in 2006 - what use is that. We have established here that the majority of people would like to be kept up to date and you for some reason dont want to be. No problem.

Not at all. I posted about a dozen times, that I would really like to have some updates, anything at all, to be honest. Mustn't even be a release-date, regular updates or a revival of Ians Wardiaries.

But I do read Olegs repeated statements and I can accept the fact that it is not up to him, Maddox Games or 1C. If that is a crime, so be it.

That has nothing to do with my personal feelings, though some people constantly mix that up, obviously, as well as they mix up programmers and publishers btw.

Thats a fair comment Feuerfalke, heres to the next update. S!

The best way to give us some updates now, would be don't give us them at all. I'd prefer: "We'll give you updates when we could do it. Regards".

BoB will not be simple a new sim but the first step of a new sim generation. So is better they could work without stress.

My two cents.
