I explained above what a disaster happened starting with the crisis.

Yes, it would be better if Oleg managed our expectations better (which he could not due to the NDA agreement with UBI). But anyway he can not have 100% responsibility for our expectations, only we have as grown ups.

PS. Again the question is not whom to blame (Oleg excepted that he made vital mistakes), but how not to harm the situation further. Some may have their personal agenda of cause.
