Beating a dead horse

[nearmiss]

I think there is one acknowledgement we can all make, regardless of what we believe about SOW, BOP...

There is something wrong.

Something is just not right with the SOW.

You bet there is something wrong.

Whats wrong is any screenshots posted by the SOW developers can so easily be used against them as seen in pics posted in the UBI forums. People still wonder why there is very little info on SOW.

Well if that is the case, personally i think not, then why doesn't someone from Olegs team come on here and say so. Otherwise your just speculating that this is the problem. The only fact in all this discussion is that the communication from Oleg/Crew is at best poor.

If you think the communication is good, then fine, i think it is very poor. The rest is all bullshit unless it comes from Oleg.

"And now let’s fast forward about 10 years. From a Korean War simulator built on the Storm of War engine by Ilya Shevchenko and Co."

maybe Oleg is also assisting with Ilya's project, granted the feedback from both teams can help to iron out issues with the engine.

I doubt both projects would be cancelled, do you?
Maybe they both will be released around the same time.

i would most likely buy both sims, i quite like jets too.

Luthier (ILya) the developer of the Korean project using the SOW BOB engine is currently helping OLegs team finish BOB. You won't see the Korean project out before BOB. Its highly doubtfull that either sim will be cancelled at this point but there is some doubt on any further additions to the SOW engine in regards to piracy making it unprofitable.

I don't understand why you don't think so. The community has already stolen a screenshot from SOW and used it in their map making.

Like you there is nothing I'd like more than having more screenshots and info on SOW, but I can understand some of the reasons why not.

#1
Oleg and crew would like to post more (as they have stated) but do not have exclusive rights to disclose as they are under contract to a publisher who holds those rights.

#2
Any screenshot they post can easily be pirated by the community or competitor.

Chivas, if someone can steal a screenshot and make a map out of it then Oleg should sign them up cause they can work a lot faster than his lot. At the end of the day anything can be stolen we know this, but i really dont think this is the reason behind the none communication. I dont know what is behind it, but im sure if it was ab piracy thing then Oleg would of said has much.

Stop whining.SoW will be released at the end of 2006 as planned.

Of course you can work alot faster when you are pirating other people work.

There is absolutely no comparison in the amount of work required.

Oleg has stated long ago that Piracy could determine any future addons to the SOW series. Why would anyone spend 7 years developing anything and have someone download it for free in minutes.

I have no idea what all the reasons for the lack of info are but its rather easy to speculate what some of them are.

OK I'm worn out and give up. Enjoy all your negativity.

Chivas, c'mon mate, piracy is not the reason behind the lack of communication here.
