Sad that people are so shy of being fooled twice.
I've had no dealings with this company, but in the past I've bought almost every expansion pack there was for the IL-2 series, and I always thought I got much more than my monies worth.
Think it through: It probably takes me four to eight hours in the FMB to come up with an interesting 45 minute mission, and that's with out skinning, historical research if applicable and simply having a fun idea.
Anything "non standard" such as some of the crazy racing maps would take me much, much longer, if I could do it at all.
What are you prepared to work for per hour?
And don't claim "but I give it all way for free", there was such a stink about mission makers being "ripped off" by people searching their own cache files for MP missions that 1C encrypted the cache!
Don't misunderstand me: I won't buy it, but that's because I won't spend a red cent on this POS until it's received some care and attention from some one who knows what they're doing, which by now almost certainly means mods, if Steam ever allows it.
But it's simply not fair to paint every small developer with the same brush. Some of them are very good and try very hard.
