The difference between our opinions, I think the software is a product, not service. I am willing to pay only once, because if I'm doing my job, I get paid only once..
(If i play on my home PC, it's not "entertaining service").
Examples of what you said, your car, cinema, pubs... you are paying for the raw materials and the services (ok, maybe a movie royalty), but these are tangible and real products. The software is big business because there is no such cost (not like any service). I do not understand why you bring this things up. If you say that you spend so much money to everything else, so your favorite game is worth this much, I agree with you.
On the one hand, it is really our favorite game, if it would be much more expensive, I probably paying it too. But... On the other hand, why would I want to pay more? 1C is not a small company, not just CloD was doing (but maybe their biggest game), especially in the Russian market is a lot of their games (many of them using this engine, like the Il-2 franchise). Many new staff, hired external team work, i don't think, they have financial problems - thankfully. This is similar as if I was worried that the publisher's boss – where I work – is able to refuel his Maserati in the weekend... what if he don't? ... Next week I need less money, perhaps dependent on this....
Back to DLC... pls read this article, why the EA is the "worst company in America."
