I really think it is hypocritical, too.

Clearly we all want to buy the game; we wouldn't have signed up to this forum if we weren't interested in the genre, so it is ridiculous to assume that people are happy Oleg is moving away from sim development, and equally stupid to assume that people don't want to buy the game, or see it develop into something even more special.

Well said Phil,
Used to enjoy visiting this forum for updates/vids/screens and flight combat
sim discussions with fellow mature gamers,but in the last few months it has
turned into a joke.
About 5% of members??? on here are destroying the forum.
Where are the Mods on this forum?
This behavior would not be tolerated on any other gaming forum.
The 95% of genuine members/visitors who have followed/played il 2 for
years and who have waited the past 5 years to play the best combat sim
ever are just sick and tired of the nonsense/off topic/trolling/insulting posts.
Should have been the most exciting week ever on this forum but instead
has been hijacked by the bad apple brigade.
