Im sure alot of people will get it, but as i see it, to me its somthing that we should have anyways, and give time there will be alot of campaigns, that people will give away free

One of my first posts on this forum was about the meagre content the game has right now. I was told that IL2 1946 started out just the same way (if anyone can confirm this please do so) and that the great content/dcg/add-ons were mainly community generated.

If, like some people here say, Desastersoft actually makes expansions/add-ons that are a notch above the rest and given the fact that they are a for profit company, yeah sure they will charge for their work, if it's worth it we will only know as soon as someone gets the expansion, which currently is still in gold status, and posts some feedback.

And even then different people will feel differently about wether this is worth the money they are charging or worth getting at all or not.

If only Lowengrin would make another DCG for this sim.........

Bottom line, the price they are charging is what it is, it's up to the individual if they are willing to pay it. I think I would pay for a profesionally made add-on, if available for download here in the US. But like I said, if it's really professionally made you can only judge after you buy it, there is never a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

be they even top notch campaigns, asking 30 euro for it is waay to much, no matter what. it is almost the price of a full game, if not even bigger..

30 Euros, so what? Thats about five or six packs of cigarettes or roundabout 19 litre Premium Gasoline, here in Germany.
(For the metrical challenged 4 litre =5.01 Gallon)

Seems SOME people have more money than sense

Also Kongo since you think its so damned cheap you can buy me a copy

And 30 Euros for a DLC that contains NO added aircraft or any other vehicles for that matter is JUST a RIP off by most peoples standards. Alot of bigger named companies sell there DLC for 15 bucks or less AND contain new items etc. So i don't see where you find 30 Euros being so cheap.. As i said 1st up more money than sense. And if i remember correctly werent these the guys that tried to sell a addon pack, same deal just a bunch of missions NO additional content for Silent Hunter 3? They almost got sued for not obtaining permission and were told to withdraw the leech product?

If it does what it says on the box, and contains what it says in the box, then it's in no way a rip off.

You may judge it expensive or not, but that's something different, and is a value judgement you're free to make.

Considering Clod prolly needs a £600 PC and a £100's worth of peripherals, £15 for some usable content doesn't sound too bad.

However, if it's missing half the advertised features, the half that remain don't work and you never hear from the guy that took your money then yes, you've been ripped off.
