maybe darkflow is Latvian but they also have devs working from Russia so maybe that they are involved in a greater modern conflict event therefore ……less manpower=less work=delayed devblogs and update
I don’t think the real world would impact DF, I think it is either we are imminent on a release, they will just share the news with release, or they are staggering the news, so as not to have nothing to talk about prior to release.
The forums usually slow down quite a bit before BP ends.
I expect some minor announcement once the BP timer ends giving some more details about the upcoming update while announcing a slight increase in the BP time. Then throughout that extended week, tease more here and there to build up hype for the drop.
I think the new campaign mentioned by Twitch will be released later, they will want to build that up, but we should get our bombers and tail gunners soon.
As you say though it is purely speculation, I do sincerely hope real world hasn’t affected anyone at DF though! Sad times that we as a society have to experience this…
it depends, in recent days in russia, russian companies or companies that pay taxes in russia and have money capital in russian banks have been heavily hit first by sanctions, freezing their monetary funds, and then by the exclusion of the russian economy from the “global market” in addition a large group of gaijin / darkflow players decided to boycott the games for “solidarity”? certainly all the companies that even if they have a small part of their economy in russia in recent days have suffered a huge economic loss and it would not surprise me that it also happened to our “snail”
also let’s not forget that a large part of the development team is Russian and with the hatred against Russia these days on a personal level it must not be easy for them to work
Read if they pay tax or have money or have part of their economy in russia they maybe has hitted by sanction, frozen found and exclusion from swift (global market) i dont know if is true but some one says at tarkov is happened the same
I woudnt be too sure about that. If the whole “east - west” conflict gets crazy enough we might see media bans as well as “banking restrictions”
So since I live in germany, I see the possibility for me “needing” to learn how VPNs work soon or later, so that I’ll still be able to play this game.
