That's a lame excuse, if true.

There are obviously quite a few outspoken whiners, but also at least as many hardcore supporters who lavish praise when due.

The same happened at sukhoi.ru forums back in 2002 when Oleg stopped posting there after discussion became negative instead of constructive.

1C is the publisher for Russia only. UBI is payed by you for providing support and communication in the rest of the world.

Rubbish. If 1c don't want to promote their own games outside Russia why do they have an English forum up? CoD is their baby, not Ubi's, and they need to keep it alive.

Did Ilya tell you that or is it your personal opinion only?
Financial suicide if true.

Ah right i see, so because of problems that make some paying customers unhappy, we all get ignored and have to suffer even more making the 1C forums a complete waste of 1C's cash pot? LOL

In another thread you were saying the reason why they didnt communicate was because UBI are paid to do it and 1C dont have the money to do so, well this seems that by ignoring customers they will only be set to loose more fans and in turn then more money.

I hope your logic is wrong. For CoD's Sake.

Good example. LOL

mate you said it not me, im stating the obvious that if they dont use the forum then it is a waste of their money so i dont see your point, or would you like me to quote what you said so you can see why i've said what i have if there is language barrier.

So do some people believe that reticence from 1C is costing them money? I hear this term 'suffering' alot......quite pathetic if you can suffer over an issue like this.....chill folks, what will happen will happen and not because you moaned enough about it.

that is my point, bongo. not communicating cos someone is moaning only causes more moaning, my opinions about CoD dont even come into it, this is just common sense which is why atros isnt making sense.
Mate where do you come up with the things you do Atros, you talk as if you know these things and you sound very convincing but your just guessing after all right? and you state frequently that guessing gets us nowhere to others, dont you see you are inadvetantly fueling what you dislike?

Seriously speaking, it is not a question if they want to communicate or they don't want to. It is a question if they spend limited resources on development or on communication. It is clear that UBI pays them only for development. Probably there were some hopes on financing a position of English speaking community manager but it looks like the international publisher refused to finance it. English speaking community manager can not be financed from development budget but only from the marketing one.

Luthier speaks better english than alot of people on these boards.

Limited resources? it would take him less time to post a update than its taken him to visit the toilet on his lunch break today.
