Why not pay every month to play COD!

One thing seriously overlooked here is the detail in the models today, not only graphically but behaviorally too. The point is they all take way more man hours to make and that means higher costs - but there aren't more people buying the game and relative spending power has actually dropped in the past 10 years. Everyone here wanting sequels and free patches with content is dreaming if they think they'll get the 200+ aircraft which the first series ended up with. You have to face up to the fact that you have to pay or development stops. The problem I have is that I see people complaining about how they spent £2000 on a supercomputer and somehow see it as 1C's job to deliver something worthy of it - so the failure of a £40 game is the tipping point for them - they think they have paid enough. If you join a golf club the membership fee and quality of course has no bearing on the cost of your golf clubs, bag, balls and shoes!

When you add it up £40 for a game is remarkably cheap for the hours of entertainment = you don't get that in any other hobby I know of. I think there needs to be more to secure the longevity of the series this time, DLC is the only thing I can think of right now which avoids the truly awful subscription. Just because 777 have lost sight of producing a testament to the Great War air fighting it doesn't mean that 1C have to.

If all else fails let the modders make it
