I don't want to take a side here, but 1C is loosing ground to a written off product, which might satisfy quite a bunch of people who in turned will not see the point in buying SoW:BoB too soon. And that is what counts, initial sales. If these will not suffice the requirements of the distributor, I highly doubt 1C will get support for further development of the series.

This is the kind of thing that bothers me when it comes the modding scene...

I think its cool that the AAA community is trying to maintain a level of quality with the mods they post, and some of the maps look pretty cool, but the "Holier than thou" attitude make me feel like a traitor for trying some of the mods, and I think thats b^!!Cr@p.

The hackers have opened up the game and "the genie is out of the bottle". Any argument that their may have been about weather or not the hack would ruin the on-line gaming community is over and the hackers have won...Its their world and the rest of us just have to "suck it up" and fly in it.

But thats not the end is it?... now Oleg has to "give the community something big" or the modding community won't see the point in buying "BoB SoW"? (part of me wonders if anyone could possibly be that dumb )

I guess that I'm just getting old because I don't understand anymore...I guess the "modders" are the hip young rule breakers who give the people what they really want (and get all the chicks), while Oleg is working away on the next great game, and is slowly loosing touch with the gamers and his place in the community?

Well good night nurse...
