Absolutely disgraceful behaviour that spits in the face of OneReTech's customers. Ugra Media look terrible too, dirtying their own reputation in the process of this grubby little debacle. ED need to sit the parties down and work out a solution quickly (here's a freebie, let both maps have the entirety of Israel, problem soived!). This is yet another embarrassing happening in a saga of incidents that damages ED's reputation and credibility. I understand that ED let third party devs down their own things, but when backroom squabbles lead to customers having their purchased products deliberately degraded, it makes ED look like they have no control of the overall product that is DCS World. As customers looking on, it looks like the clowns are running the circus and ED can only stand by and watch the fires raging out of control. ED need to make an official statement soon with an action plan, detailing what happened and why and what will be done about it. End the speculation that is driving customers to seek refunds and actively discouraging new players from joining your game. I know several people who were looking at getting into DCS but declined after seeing the RAZBAM / ED fallout earlier this year, with expensive modules falling apart in the hands of customers, with RAZBAM unwilling or unable to work on the modules and ED unable to offer any sort of effective support to keep the modules running. Imagine if those potential new customers, needing assurance to overcome their trepidation to try DCS World (it's an expensive hobby, after all!) found that map makers can delete portions of maps and degrade them at the whim of another 3rd party publisher, with no warning to the customer and as yet, no explanation of how and when the map will be restored, or how customers can apply for refunds.
