Actually no I can not..

I spend more on gas driving my Jeep to work per day ($35/day) than the most expensive DLC for RoF! Heck I spend more in one night of drinking than the cost of a game!

Heck the price of a game is about the cheapest entertainment I can think of! Especially when you look at all the hours of enjoyment you get out of it!

But that is just me and my costs.. Lets relate this to all simmers

For example.. A movie cost you about $10.. And the movie only lasts about 2 hours..

That is $5 per hour form of entertainment!

$5/hr = $10/2hr

Where as a game cost about $50.. but you can play it for hundreds of hours..

For example.. IL-2.. There were what.. 4 or 5 sequels to IL-2? So lets say you bought all of them.. So over the past 10 years you have spent $250 ( 5 x $50 ).. Now lets say you played 3hrs a day every Saturday and Sunday for the past 10 years..

That is an 8 cent per hour form of entertainment!

520 weekends = 52 weekends/year x 10 years
3120hr = 520 weekends x 6hr/weekend
8cents/hr = $250/3120hr

And that is just the cost of the software itself.. It all becomes comical once you take into account the $ spent on the computer to play the $50 game!

To make an analogy, it is like complaining about the cost of the $10 movie as you are driving your $30k car to the movie!

Long story short.. expensive is 'relative'! Thus the price argument does not really hold much water IMHO! Playing flight sims has always been a expensive hobby.. and of those expenses the cost of the game is the least expensive item needed to play a flight sim
