True enough, Bongo. Then again, BoS will only share the name of IL2, but seemingly not it's depth. Of course, that might change down the road, but I'm treating it as something completely different than IL2, even if it shares the name. Whether I buy it or not will remain to be seen, and it depends a LOT on the info they give out in the coming months.

Even when I see it, I will have my skeptical-pants on, and those are damn hard to remove!

I was totally hyped right before the launch of CloD with expectations and optimism flying waaay too high. Let's just say I'm realistically optimistic this time around, as in getting a working WWII combat flight game out of the box with working basic features. Yes, CloD raised the bar in some ways but it also lowered it in others. Here's to the future!

Yes, but...Oleg might have said "yes" , but with a reminder that a " yes" was bond to a "WIP" that would eventually mean "no"....
And after 8 years of development, many " yes" turned out to be a "never"...

I f you are right about the fact that a part of CLOD's failure is due to the constant whining, and investors were influenced by the moaning on the forum, it shows how Jason has acquired some whisdom from that venture...
So he says "no" to everything that is not essential in the first built of BOS....

Salute !

Investors are much more pragmatic than that.

A more likely scenario is the whining directly effected ongoing sales and the lack of any revenue stream (no new users due to internet whining and no money from existing users as there are no paid addons), when combined with escalating dev costs, put the balance sheet increasingly in the red.
