But it is the future and considering how many free addons we had with IL2 compared to other games, it was pretty clear, that this was not going to be the same with the sequel. After all, Oleg and his team have to make money from it and the flightsim-market is one of the most wealthy games-markets out there (just look at how much money we spend on hardware, joysticks, even pits and panels!)

I'm not worrying about Oleg making money, I'm worrying about 3rd party developers who are abusing the scene with over the top prices.
anyhow, if you read the interview and previous statements carefully then you'll notice that MSFS is being mentioned several times and that BoB add-on policy will be alike. In that case, if you want to have same on-line content as any other virpil then you actually are obliged to buy the same add-ons. Either that or people will get stuck with "off-line" content which becomes obviously obsolete after a certain amount of time as you can't use it on-line.
A strategy of having a "mass" add-on like Pacific Fighters or 46 wit lots of aircraft of good quality is most favourable, but then again Company X would release that and Company Y would release something similiar with one or two bits different. Which one to get? Go figure!
