Friday Update, Q&A - December 23, 2011

Luthier,

With utmost respect, I find your assertion that you were doing us a favor by continuing support for this game seven months after release quite insulting.

You could make this argument if the game worked anything like as promised on release, but we all know it did not.

I fear recent developments have done far too much damage to the brand of this developer for many of us to support you on your next promised venture.

Given the developer's recent track record I cannot find it in my heart to believe BOM will ever be released, nor that CloD will ever be fixed.

I hope I am wrong.

I hope you can work things out. But I remain deeply disappointed and disillusioned.

Thanks Ilya and Team Have a Happy Holiday

Merry Christmas Luthier and team

Happy to hear your still working on COD and the sequel.

I was so happy for this update. I still am, despite the "was"


Thanks for the update!!

I got laid off earlier this week, yeah merry christmas. 2 years ago was looking at the same thing. out of all my friends only 1/4 are working. out of those working, 95% one has seen a raise or bonus in 2 years. the others are in places that are impervious to the economy (or are rich and balling like Kim Kard)

So its bad.


I saw some the answers given . . . and wow the negativity is rolling fast, I think by page 2 or 3 the complaints were starting to surface, no wait it was page 1 !!

Anycase I realized that the devs had taken a major hit with ClOd. The economy really bites here in the US. And it probably does across the pond. Its a good they have enough to work on a sequel, and if they know it will sell fast locally to generate some cash.

Have to understand, there's that element of working from scratch (Oleg's gone, and well the code he had, he probably took)

But the game is rolling. Guys and gals, we will have a successor worthy of IL-2 in a few years.

I know many aren't going to be patient but once the arcade of world of planes and world of plane craft, and world of war plane wears off, and rise of flight has zeppelins and now the word war I guys get to laugh at the ww2 guys and the ww2 simmers in anger (well justly so since red baron of years ago was gone . . . and Il-2 glory days came )

everyones going to turn back to here, to Il-2 COD and its successors.

Remember Christmas is about lots of things and be thankful this season.

Woot and we are getting the communication we asked for. it may not what we want to hear but . . . we getting some.
