I agree that (if I am understanding you correctly) that the gamin industry in general has become short sighted and only concerns itself with the first few weeks sales for a new IP, and never really consider the profitability of a product over time. I personally can't stand the trend for making a big title and then releasing all these nickel and dime DLCs (a few a month) for the first few months and then all support for the game just drops. They drained the gamer of their money and now they are done.
I can't even recall how many copies I've bought of Il-2 + add-ons over the years, but I never once felt cheated. You kept support for the game up, and always added something new. It is an IP I've spent more on than any other game hands down. Worth every penny every time.
