Apparently their willing to take the chance and i hope they succeed because the quality of the game looks stunning, and we've all been waiting for a decent ww1 sim for several years. Internet and requirement of online connection ain't unusual in todays society so i doubt they'll lose any significant sales, sure some but i doubt the majority. I mean there's online only games all around us such as Battlefield series(yes they've sp mode but is a totally 100% focused MP game), mmorpgs etc etc

Here is the response from their Blog...
Welcome to the future, or «Rise of Flight» off-line. What is «Rise of Flight» in virtual life - we have shown you in our past blogs with some videos, screenshots, illustrated graphic s process, physics and aerodynamics. Today we will tell you about what is «Rise of Flight» in a real life. First of all I would like to begin with telling you what it's actually not, it's not your just another "cd" with game on it. From the beginning we were engaged in developing with more than just another game, but a basement - platform for future development. «Rise of Flight» will run mostly on powerful computers. All the requirements are based on calculations and cannot be questioned. Up-to-date computers will provide you with better scenery picture and overall game quality. The same apply to the internet connection/ online play. Online connection is the fundamental basement for all big projects. We are not short-lived game and we can all see the disadvantages of online connection but what about all the advantages? Online connection in «Rise of Flight» will give you: 1. Virtual game world. First of all «Rise of Flight» is a constructer, which will be updated frequently, we will develop and make the game better. «Rise of Flight» - is a world in development, the key point of this project is online play. 2. Up-to-date game versions will guarantee smooth play with no bugs for all users. Not to mention free updates which will be downloaded automatically each time you login into game. Each time new version or an update is available (new areas, landscapes, weather condition) - it will be automatically downloaded and installed on your system. This system will provide you with nice updates and exclude any bugs while playing in multiplayer. 3. At any time you can log on and have a look at your statistics and ratings worldwide. You will be able to access our server, which is collecting statistics from to all users. You can always log on and a have a look at the "Hamburg score"..." for your notice: according to one circus legend, which was told by Victor Shklovsky, fighters from all over the world used to gather up in some old Hamburg pub, they used to close up all doors and windows and fight with "no fooling around". Only once in a year in Hamburg they could really understand who is "numero uno" and who is "numero 99". At any time and any game server (multiplayer or career mode) your statistics will be counted and shown in statistics worldwide (except singleplayer mode). Even in few years time you will be able to access your statistics and compare it to everyone else. And who knows, maybe you will be the best? 4. Possibility to make some cash and to take participation in development. There is something that we have not mentioned yet. As I have told you - «Rise of Flight» is not just a game, it's a platform, which will allow users not only to enjoy game play, but also to participate in development of this project and to earn money. For your notice: you can make your own stuff, from missions and campaigns to fighters, landscapes, villages and cities. We would like to ask everyone to participate because we will not be able to cover every part and possibility of this game. If not you guys (users) who will else better know what this game really need. Only with online connection we will be able to see the best stuff from, to understand what is interesting for users and what we can put into production for updates * just a small notice for everyone with traffic or internet connection problem. For "career mode" or "singleplayer mode" you will only need connection to start up or end up your mission (for your statistics). The rest of the time basically you don't have to be connected to the internet. 3-4 hours play traffic will equal to one downloaded page on our blog. In "multiplayer mode" you should be connected to the internet at all time.
