I don't know if the guy the blogger has been talking to is a fake or not, but I have no doubt the development has looked into building an MMO. That doesn't necessarily mean they will stop building a series of theaters for online/offline use. They'll want as many revenue streams as possible for the new game engine. That said they'll way the pros and cons of a number of business model scenarios, and make a decision once they sure what the game engine is best suited for when relatively completed. If the game engine eventually turns out to be as future proofed as they were trying to make it, then its quite possible there will be a number possible uses.

Anyway we may have a better idea what going on by Friday if there is an update.

I laugh at this blind devotion concept, most people will do their due diligence this time before buying the Sequel, some will still support the development anyway as they are the only developer willing to spend the time and money on more complex sims. The relatively small group still willing to support the developer won't be enough to save the developer if the Sequel hasn't made substantial improvements.

Maybe you should be more specific here. Nothing compares to DCS in complex combat sims. Moreover one that actually works.

You are right though, people wont buy if the sequel isnt up to snuff. I really hope it is, but honestly, I know deep down it will be a mess. Sadly.
