I agree with Icefire that for a combat flight sim the "nickel and dime" model is not that well suited. It's not so much the cost, it's the fact that it fragments the pool of multiplayer participants too much and it makes it difficult to have a proper portrayal of an entire theater with realistic introduction to service timelines.
That being said, it doesn't mean it has to be all black or white, does it now?
FSX is abandoned and there's a gap in the market. You don't have to fly civilian birds and you don't have to like it, but if certain people buy SoW to fly a 3rd party payware add-on DC2 between London and Berlin, it partly funds OUR future
combat expansions.
With all due respect and no ill will whatsoever, are some of you oblivious to this potential for future growth and SoW's enhanced financial security, or is the need to make fun of other people's enjoyment so great that it overshadows simple practical thinking? Honest question here, i'm not trying to pick a fight, i just think that some of you are too eager to make fun of the non-combat crowd and are missing the big picture as a result.
