That is a good point.

Wow! it's like talking with a puppet master and his puppet, anywho, people have the right to complain and people have the right to object to those complaints but I don't think it's fair to make it seem as if others opinion in a matter -business model as an example in this case I guess- is totally wrong or totally right either. They are opinions guys, they are not universal truths, they are not concrete. Please tell me I'm not talking to a wall here, show me a sign of understanding.

No, it isn't. Luthier said the model will be the same. That isn't opinion, that is FACT.

Which is fine for you and your agenda..

But the rest of us who are familiar with IL-2 are basing our opinions off the 10+ years of IL-2 and the latest quote from Luther that stated CoD and it's sequels will follow the same methodology

True..

And I think 'most' would agree that the words based on 18 moths are cheaper than the words based on 10+ years..

Your mileage may and clearly does vary

They would be out of business in 3 days after the launch, because other game genre customers would in no way stomach a game released in a state like CoD.

Not they are doing us a favor by working on a ww2 flight sim, but we are doing them a favor for buying and supporting a game in such a state.

I'm sorry, but I'm sure BoM will be in a similar state at its launch, with tons of bugs and broken features too. And you can quote me on it!

I really-really hope I'll be proven wrong, because i do love ww2 (flight) sims, but.. time will tell

No, it's definitely a fact that he said it. Whether or not they'll actually do it is pointless speculation. My useless speculation is based on past history and common sense. Your useless speculation is based on relentless negativity.
