We are planning a hybrid system. This will create a line of products that can satisfy different groups of players with different financial capabilities and preferences. Those players who are committed flight simulation hobbyists can purchase additional content in the online store. In the future, if such a model is successful; we will be releasing regular additions that feature other famous air battles of World War II that contain the planes that took part in them.
I don't really like this idea. I'm not ready to pay an aircraft or maps. I prefer Team Daidalos Style where you download all of that in patch. It's funnier and all people can enjoy and have the same experience. We don't need a pay2win.
whatever, more news here : http://forum.il2sturmovik.net/index.php?showtopic=168 |
I'm of two minds here nic. One is that the situation is hardly ideal.. it means that some players will not have certain types of content. What happens when you do an online scenario and some people only have a piece of it... it does restrict things.
On the other side of the coin... coin literally is an issue. Flight sims are small potatoes these days and so continual funding on micro transactions to keep development going is important as they will never have the kind of retail mass success that other more mass market games will.
It does sound as if there will be a greater selection in a buy package and then some additional content will be featured as addon.
I'm not 100% on this but I'd rather there be a content pack at a discount then buying piecemeal. It disperses what players are able to do quite a bit.
I guess it depends on what it comes with initially and what you need to buy later. Is it that everyone gets a Bf109F-4 but you have to pay to get a G-2? Or if you want to do any bombing you have to pay separately for the Pe-2 or He-111? I'm unsure on these things.
