Leatherneck / Magnitude 3 LLC / Heatblur

Hello, 

 

I have read this on the Heatblur's page : https://store.heatblur.com/pages/about-us

 

I don't understand, Leatherneck is not the publisher of Mig-21bis ?

 

Regards,

The team that made the Mig-21 and Viggen, and was developing the Tomact, was called Leatherneck at the time. They have since split into Magnitude 3, who kept the Mig21, and Heatblur, who kept the Viggen and completed the Tomcat.

In addition to what @TLTeo said, you can find the announcement of the split here:

Here's an old dev diary for example  from the time before the split when they were all still Leatherneck and working on the MiG-21 and the F-14:

To be fair and exact the team that made the final release of the MiG-21bis was comprised of four partners. One of them, namely Cobra, left and founded Heatblur. Viggen crew was a bit larger, but thats not important. I think the claim in the linked picture is a bit of an exaggeration since Heatblur did not exist at a time MiG-21 was released
