I doubt we will see many freebie planes in free patches this time around anyway, as pointed out it is too time consuming (=expensive) to just give away free flyables. It's not like in IL-2 times anymore.
DLC is a bad thing if let's say you are selling content that is already in the game and will be unlocked after you pay a fee and receive an activation code for said feature or item, that's a bad example. If the devs could allocate a couple of modelers for full time DLC work, we would see new flyables drop out maybe a few times/year or more. Sometimes all that is needed is the cockpit of an already existent plane and it takes time I know but by now they surely have some framework/standard procedures that they are working from to minimize development time of said cockpit don't you think?
Also smaller stuff, a new outfit for the pilot models for a few €, ok I'll buy that, minimal development cost and many will likely buy it. I'm all for DLC if it is handled properly, don't get me wrong there are many bad examples out there.
P.S I'm also doubting that DLC will ever be available for the new IL-2 series but if it will, I'll be the first chump in line with a fist full of €.  |
I agree, a small team who could generate a modest, steady income and lots of joy for gamers.. if you dont want to buy it you dont have to.. it will just be bonus planes for new big theatres say
