Of course everyone could follow your noble example and just sit back in silent admiration and not say a peep. Only then one could ask why have a forum at all? Would not a kind of blog where only staff members can post be then more suitable?
Sorry your post sounds like a teacher with the raised finger telling all those nasty users who dare to post off.
P.S. That is just my opinion

+1, good reply. lets not forget that we will all buy this product and hopefully make Oleg very wealthy.

I was around when the internet was born, been gaming a lot longer than your 31 years.. what your'e asking is 'pie in the sky'.

If you go public (like politicians), be prepared for the dirt. If you don't like it.. switch off your PC

And lets not forget that not Oleg will get the biggest part but the publisher.

That's the choice of Mr. Maddox too. By going with a regular distributor (Ubi?) he gets about 20% of the profit. On going Steam for instance, the profit portion for the developer could be 60%.

It will impact sales too.
Less marketing - and no hardcopy, which eliminates me as a customer.

I think that Luthier already indicated there would be a boxed copy, in his cloth map thread.

I don't mind Steam as a concept

what I mind is that I in effect leased the game instead of purchased it. When I lease a 50,000 dollar car I don't pay the same price overall as somebody who purchased the same car outright

In reply to Bryan's original post-

I agree to a large degree. But the internet is by nature a haven for the baser, meaner aspects of human nature though. Being able to interact with somebody, and saying whatever you like, brings out the worst at times because the most horrid thing can be that you get banned. That's why a lot of childish nonsense goes on

Add that to the fact that the greater majority of people have half-baked ideas or bad grasps of what they talk about, and the results are predictable
