You, Sir, are in my eyes a absolute cheapskate!!
The possibilities alone and the expected long life are worth lots more then the price in a moneywise challenged country!
By your tag however i see that you are possibly too young to have a own income and so you may be excused.

I bought the Russian version,and will get my euro version on Thursday.Thats a win/win for 1c,because they got an extra sale from me.

Don't forget this will be developed for years to come, but only if enough people buy it! Compare the first IL2 when it came out, compare it with the latest IL2 1946 - that's what you should be looking at. CoD is a raw diamond at the moment, but still a diamond! It will be polished and grinded, we just need to give it a chance and look at it's potential.

I want the russian version because I don't want the filter. But I'm prepared to pay the western price directly to 1C.

Holy crap ...can you say over the top :grin:

That's true. I am not sure tho if I would be willing to pay 49euros for the game in the current state (unplayable).

Offcourse it is different if you just want to financially support the development of the game.

Not necessarily.
It may even be the case that 1C get more money from each sale of the Russian version.
As it's the publisher that sets the price, additional pricing on the Western version may be for the benefit of Ubisoft. that said, additional money to Ubi may indirectly benefit 1C slightly if Ubi fund 1C developments in the future.

Of course, this might not be the case. We have n way to ever know.

Yep, its stupid to discuss about this as we don't have the sales figures of how much will Oleg make from international or domestic sales. I doubt there to be much difference.

Anyhow most guys who get the russian version now will eventually get the international version anyway, and even if not, in the end of the day the more the game sells the better as currently there is a high risk of this game not selling at all..

I bought the Russian version as a quick preview/demo of the game.
I have a Euro version preordered.

In essence I paid £8 to have a look before my version is available.

I'm glad you aren't calling too many shots...my forum name makes you think I'm unemployed and a cheapskate little kid? I would love to hear the reasoning but you couldn't be more off.
I'm a college grad and Instrument rated pilot...maybe I'm cheap because of 6 figure loans to pay back! .:oops:

It is always interesting when someone else decides what I can and can not afford to do with "my" money. If the Russians "really cared" about this sim than I think they could afford to also pay the western price.
