So many people believe that the majority of purchasers (offline players) have funded development for a minority (online players)
If Olegs preference (as he has repeatedly stated) is for Online play...then that business model (volume offline purchasers funding preferential development for minority online players) will continue unless some kind of pay to play business model is introduced.

While it may be true that there may be more offline than online.. I hardly think the online players are a "minority" in the sense implied.. In a recent UBI poll almost half the players polled (203) played almost 50% online.. with 36% being either totally online or 90% online....
If SoW goes pay to play I may have to do something else with my flight sim tuime because the last thing I need in my life is another d@mn bill..
