Well, I don't read him saying that he is still in his old role managing the development of CoD... Over at SimHQ Jason who is in the industry confirmed that the "tired of all whining comment on YouTube" was from Oleg and:

Jason

Read it in context here:

So the sad fact I can deduct from this is that Oleg has moved on since quite long time, but probably has some "senior advisor" role at MG, especially as it would hurt marketing if it was known that he was left the managing role at MG. Maybe he was burnt out by all the stress trying to finish this title with the high quality standards he is famous for after years with negative feedback from all corners? I am not putting the blame on the community as I think that is the small part - but it sure has not helped reading the BS spread by some members here or over at SimHQ that destroys every constructive thread.

If my speculation above is really true, it is the most sad thing that has happened to the sim community ever... Or at least since Falcon 4 "ate" the team a Spectrum Holobyte that scared the living daylights out of any manager thinking of starting a really complex flight sim project after that... Now It seems CoD has "eaten" Oleg and his team too for flying to close to the sun?

I really hope I'm wrong!
