Exactly the same i said to all my team and friends of italian SEOW community and not only: "It's time to look forward, and CoD will be the next step for WW2, as Rise of Flight is for WW1. Oleg can't fail so CoD will be superb....not worst than RoF, better than IL2....so a great succes, be sure". There is people, as you say, that (was) is afraid about the IL2's end, the same people who refused to donwload for ex. the RoF demo. This is true.

But now.......after purchasing CoD, i've to admit i was totally wrong.

Oleg is gone and for my opinion this game has not future at all.

I hope to be wrong, as i was wrong when i was waiting for it like the definitve WW2 simulation.

The next time i hope to see however more supporters than fanboys.

That doesn't make real sense. what you perceive as fanboys are just supporters, but you are little bitter about it, the game hasn't been out long enough to have a true fanbase.

Only time will tell. But whether anyone likes it or not you cannot prevent progression into the tomorrow.

You cannot prevent or slow down peoples gravitation away from one to another. It's natural it's the human in us that causes this. Yes we all do not like having our sanctuary disrupted in anyway. But its just life that's the way its been since man has been walking the earth. Progress

It's just human nature. It actually has a name. It's called a Normalcy Bias.

From Wikipedia "The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred that it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation".

The Normalcy Bias was the reason people went back to their staterooms aboard the Titanic. Even though the ship was listing heavily to one side and water was filling the lower decks people just thought "God can't even sink the Titanic" and they just wanted everything to be normal.

People hate change. It's normal. But it's coming. Like the second hand on the clock. It moves with or without any interference from anyone.
