Well, at least they are putting new content out there. Also, flightsims are even "nichier" than ever before, it's almost a miracle that games like CloD and RoF are still being released. Times are different, majority of PC gamers aren't playing flightsims anymore, it's not the 80's and 90's when the industry was spitting out tons of flightsims all the time. Making games is more costly and resource hungry than ever, I wouldn't even get mad if the RoF team charged for a cigar DLC because I understand that it's not financially viable to release ONE flightsim and expect to make enough money on DVD/digital sales alone to finance the next one, it's not possible.
If you do have some interest in the game industry, since CloD is in fact a game, then you would've noticed the reports from this years E3 was a lot about free to play games. Free to play games dominated this years E3 showfloor. This is the future of games, like it or not. If everybody is charging 40-60€ for a new game and there are a ton of interesting games every month on many different platforms then the competition is ferocious and almost impossible. This is the reason for free to play. Sorry if this became a bit of a long text but as I stated at the beginning, paying for stuff is something you and many others will have to get used to, unless you are willing to pay like 699€/$ for a complete flightsim.
