Oleg is very concerned with illegal distribution of PF over the Internet.
I will compile in one post what Oleg said in his answers in that thread.
----------------------------------
In the first year of the original IL-2 run of the users were using pirated copy of the game. Mostly in China and Russia. Percentage of illegal users on the West was negligible. Profit was enough to justify frequent free add-ons and even development of FB.
But now (with FB AEP) about ` of users worldwide are using pirated version of the game.
Oleg’s company is on the edge. At the moment development expenses exceed profit. Profit from FB AEP (especially) is less then from original IL-2. Profit does not even cover salaries of the developers.
Hope is that PF is going to change it, but it is only hope.
If piracy continues with PF – don’t wait for "the future project" (BoB).
Tässä näemme sitten seuraukset warettamisesta yms.

minkäköhän takia il-2:een ei ole laitettu samanlaista systeemiä ku joint opsiin, jossa pitää käydä rekisteröitymässä valmistajan sivuilla ja syöttää cd-key sinne, jos haluaa kunnon servuille pelaamaan....
CoD:ssakin toi cd-key homma toimii aika hyvin... ja mistäkö tiedän? no tämä poikahan yritti pelata joint opsia ja CoD:tä waretetuilla peleillä, mutta koska ei oikein tahtonu päästä kunnon servuille, niin menin saitten kiltisti kauppaan, ja ostin molemmat....
Vuodessa ilmestyy keskimäärin neljä peliä mitkä mua kiinnostaa, niimpä nykyään käyn ihan rehellisesti ostamassa ne.... eipä tuo ainakaan vielä ole mun taloutta kaatanu...
Waretin ton Pacific Fightersin (PF) ja nyt tuntuu vähän pahalta, mutta tuskin olisin peliä siltikään ostanut. En ole pelannut peliä kuin pari kertaa.
