Was Ubi the publisher in Russia too, or is it 1C? I remember that it was released at start, and not in the Western market (as for the US market...)
And where did you read about that forced release?

You (at al) keep on banging on about business and "management issue"... well good again. Who creates the sim and who publishes the sim?
and further good for you (et al) for just limiting the whining to this board... though, is it getting you (et al) anywhere?

Do you read hostility in my words?
The publisher needs to be aware of the state of the product, because of a matter of his professional image. Ubisoft did a hole in the water with SH5 too, and infact look at their image: it's an hated publisher and many customers avoid their games (not only since the release of CloD and SH5).
I found it strange that people kept asking at them about the game and they didn't know anything...
About the whining and complaining: I'm totally for it, both as customer and developer. Constructive whining is needed to improve the product (no one is perfect). I remember some days after the release there were guys loving the sound of the engines (the old IL2's one)... why should they improve the sound engine then? Why should they avoid the "engine radar" if nobody is complaining about it (and I did a lot: it was one of my battle horses
)
We don't know if they are reading the message board... if they read then they could at least acknowledge the requests/complains. If not then keep whining to so that the problem stays alive and it's not forgotten. Whining does not kill anyone and there is always the "ignore" function that so few are actually using.
Of course sometimes I end with feeding the trolls like today... but I've had some fun: if they are not banned than lets exploit them.
This is one thing I don't understand: attack the offensive posters, report them, its' ok... but let the people complain if they want, just ignore them.
IMO whining about the whiners is really damaging the forum... Live and let live.
