Scs's blog is now read by over 10,000 people every day, and they know of many other sites which take their content and repost it translated into various languages. That's a LOT of people looking forward to the release of Euro Truck Simulator 2, and you can be sure that scs is not taking this liability lightly.
They are not ceasing work completely even during the final days of the year; this is hopefully not the final post of 2011 from us. They thank you for your patience, stay tuned, and have a good time!
