Whoever has been financing SOW:BOB cannot have deep enough pockets for the game to continue to be in development forever. After several years of being in development and paying expenses and salaries the investors (whoever they are) have to release it to pay the bills. How much could those expenses and salaries add up to be after 3 years of costing money and not making one (RED) cent ? (heheheheh: hey, accidental PUN in that statement ).

Oleg and team didn't start working soley on SOW until late last year. The publishers IC and Ubisoft have been collecting monies for IL-2, AEP, FB, Pacific Fighters, PE-2, Manchuria, and IL-2 1946 for eight years. So there should be plenty of funds for SOW until atleast the end of 2009. After that they might start putting pressure on the developers. They have had a small core group working on SOW since 2003, but their main priority had been the addons to IL-2. I know I've been waiting for BOB since the first planned release in 2005. I think they delayed full work on SOW until computers were strong enough to handle so many features required to developed a cinematic sim.
