For almost five years at the western publisher's FB/PF forum, Offline and many Online play customers asked Oleg for deeper options and modding to one degree or another. Instead of helping to convince Oleg to offer these feature officially and in a way that would not affect anonymous public servers that might choose not to use these features, a loud "leadership" minority of hostile anonymous public server gamers accused these customers of "wanting to cheat online" along with other traditional computer gamer insults often seen on many computer gaming forums.
In summary, we refused to share the sim with the people who pay for our "free" cheat-free anonymous public server gameplay. We get what we asked for.

I have read some really really really absolutely absurd things from you over the years Lexx.... But the above is just about the most absolutely ridiculous nonsense I have ever read online... with few exceptions .... What in the world makes you think that Oleg kept the code to the sim locked because of the online community... or that we had any influence over him at all in that respect? Pfftt!! Sometimes I wonder ......

He probably kept it locked because he didn't want it copied.... because this sim is still.. after all this time a cut above anything else on the market... ANYTHING... and you can talk all that offline nonsense you want to... we will see if BoBII WoV is still a viable product 6 years from now to any mentionable degree other than the past tense... especially if it does not convert to some kind of online play.... Time will tell... I sure hope that hack buster gets here...
