Why not pay every month to play COD!

Sorry addman, but I cannot support the RoF business model in any way shape or form. If the development team goes this way, I'm out.

I'm bloody serious.

And what if the dev team goes 'out' because their funding isn't enough and the plug is pulled? Is that something you are prepared for? Serious question. I don't know if your reasoning is based on direction or that you just don't want to/can't afford to pay.

Please re-read my post.

@Farber, I work in IT, in producing software, and if it isn't working then the plug is pulled suddenly I can promise you that. In actual fact I saw it this year when an entire department of 50 was torn apart purely because the directors decided to cut losses on development - it was a total surprise. I would be surprised that after a desperate release to bring in some cash and a re-write to a demanding yet miserly niche market that the developers for this aren't under extreme pressure. 1C don't do this for fun you know - there's money in it or they do something else. That you don't wish to pay a premium is up to you of course, in which case there is always HAWX2 for you....

1. Would pay for IL2 on a monthly bases, more then 10$ each month.

3. No way, only pay for Main release and for Sequels or bigger updates.

Here's a funny video by the Mega64 guys about how DLC can go wrong:

Just reinstalled il2 FB, felt like I have been missing something. I'll start playing other games B4 I pay to play. If you want to sell me an expansion fine but I'm not leasing a freaking game. Please stop with the very bad ideas.

If it ever went to a pay monthly fee, then that would be me out for sure.

I wouldn't pay monthly either, but I would pay for DLC

I agree with you on that point.. and it's there to be exploited.
It will work coz 'hi-tech' has seemed to have bred a generation of 'immediate gratification kids', who will fall for this 'business model' - they might eventually wake up, when they find that games have degenerated to unworkable releases.

SH5, CLOD are a shining examples...

The downside is that we will probably never see another Oleg and his game quality, because the rest want money before quality.

I agree with keeping the big core expansions, but drip feeding new planes every couple of months as dlc would be nice..

That is because Guse is working at the speed of 'free'!
