Comparing CoD to games like WOW and Aces-High is asinine. CoD is NOT a massively multiplayer game. There are no corporately owned and managed servers in CoD like WOW and AH.

MMPGs charge monthly because they provide the hardware and the server bandwidth. IE, they provide a SERVICE.

Paying monthly is obviously not reasonable for CoD in its current state. Unless it switched to online only (with gimp single player practice) with corporate hosting, there is absolutely no danger of it becoming subscription based.

Core game $60
1941 plans set $39
1942 plane set $39
1943 plane set $39
1944 plane set $39
1945 plane set $39

not one person here would have a problem paying...not one!... if the game had been released in a state of near perfection with very few bugs most IL2'ers would have there credit cards set to auto draft for the next release.

the IL2 community does not have a problem paying....remember we spend hundreds if not thousands on our rigs just to play this game :)...but the quality must match the cash.

My 2 pence on the OP original question is this...i think pay per monthly is not a good motivator for the developer...DLC could be but that would be only if the core game was as i mentioned...close to perfection. This is a niche market...but so is Bugatti...they have people willing to pay because they deliver :)

happy new year to all :)

Good god, what a rip-off.

Carefull what you wish for....
 

From this thread alone it appears half the pilots hate the idea.

That being said, the online community would easily splinter and the rest would follow. :rolleyes:

Dead servers anyone?:confused:

Single player would die afterwards:!:

Pay monthly would probably mean a master server. After having to suffer RoF's super flakey master server I don't think its a great idea.
