If the game is not good, people would not add pay every month, and devenloper have to see that game is in top shape so that we pay every month And every patch/secuel would off course be in the price ........

Go away

For people like myself who want to support the sim but actually not fly very often ie about once every month or two i would drop the sim like a stone.

Paying a monthly fee just to join a server, as someone wrote, doesn't encourage the dev to develop his product. I like to finance the genre, but I believe that the Il2 model was the best one. Second is RoF.

Then I wouldn't dislike the system adopted by a certain car racing sim: you buy a share of the venture, and you get all betas and updates, and in the end you receive the game. Then you get paid back proportionally to the game revenues and to the amount invested. And you can invest from 50 to x thousand ...

You kidding, right?

paying every month to play COD?that would be a horror scenario in my view.i think this would be the only reason where i would really quit to play the series and abandon it forever.

dont get me wrong, i want the devs to earn good money with the series, but not in this way.
they should continue their way to sell their products, just like it has been.i would pay more than 50 euro for a title in the series if it was necessary but not paying every month to play the game.no thanks.

Ok then, let the developer decide what you will play entirely, wait ages for new content and pay premium. I'd rather pay more for content that I want then less for content that I don't care about at all. IMO, DLC is ideal for the il-2 series because of the plethora of possible content. I don't mind if MG continues to do charity work as they've done the last ten years with bugfixing+content patches but I don't see the financial gains.

P.S Also like to add that I disapprove of the idea of pay-to-play a la WoW, it wouldn't work for the il-2 series and I would NEVER pay a monthly fee for a game.

Makes you wonder. What if 777(rise of flight developer) pulled a DLC Spitfire MKI and a Me109E out of their hat for say $15 each? I would buy them right of the bat. Same for a FW190 or P51. They would make a fortune, even without a campaign or new maps. Basically a simple dogfight sim. They could do it right now with their current game engine. Anyone ever noticed the Rata sitting in their museum where you enter the game?

1C can do the same thing. Sell us annual theatre expansion packs with maps, campaigns, objects and widely used aircraft so we can play historical campaigns offline. Sell us per DLC (third party developers?) the most popular aircraft so we can go online and have a furrball right from the start.

What worries me about this model is this. It will be so succesfull that they'll make much more money with the popular DLC content and do away with expansion packs all together. RoF may have opened Pandora's box.

Paying a monthly fee kills creativity, and the game just becomes a cash cow. World of Warcraft is the perfect example of this. Old content is rehashed, dungeons are brought back from previous expansions and bosses are re-skinned. Actually Blizzard does not even bother hiding it anymore.

Most of the creativity and development goes into designing pretty mounts and other things which can be bought at additional cost. Yes, people still pay and play Wow. But this results in a terrible gaming community, just visit the forums.
