Would you not say though, that the "free" patches and ongoing support are what have persuaded regular users to continue to purchase additional copies of the game/extra material (I personally have IL2, FB, AEP, PF, 4.04m Collection, Pe2 & IL2 1946 !!! And i'm sure i'm not the only one!) which has kept a revenue stream coming in over the years when no new products ghave been released, and have kept the user base active for years...which will give a massive initial sales impetus to the BOB-SOW series.
So its not as clear as something for nothing...Olegs business model obviously predicts that the money invested in "free" patches/additional material will pay off in terms of revenue from a loyal client base.
Its not something for nothing...its something for something!
