It seems what I said months ago about the next official ArmA patch being the last effort BI puts forth for this game was correct (when I am wrong?).
The DE news reports/adverts and the fanboys on the BI forums are both confirming this now.
Looks like the new SCP will be coming out soon for the yearly TKC Summer days TK contest!
A person would suspect that ArmA2 should be for sale 2-3 months after that.
