How's that for customer service??

one obvious difference, the f1 2012 game (and the previous products in that line) were console games for xbox, playstation etc.. as well, and the pc version of that game brings in a relatively minor revenue element of the overall product being designed (but the overall funding is across all platforms). many of those console games can have 60 to 80 programers working on them, as compared to the 10 or 12 working with luthier/oleg's project. the revenue and budgets for those console games are huge, tens of millions of dollars more then for pc games. additionally, the il2 flightsim series and SoW/CoD/BoM series is a niche product in the pc market itself, so serves an even smaller customer base (compared to mainstream pc shoot'emup and driving games)
