They'd be out of business within a year if most of the updates weren't paid. That should be clear to everyone.

From what I've got, this will work just like IL-2. If a new title is released, it's paid. If it's just a patch, it's free.

The only difference will be that we won't get any new planes of maps with the updates, but these can be made by other users and etc.

Am I right?

Updates are fixes also called patches -> must be free
Upgrades, also called add-ons are usually paid for.

We will see how well your model works out for RoF.......

RoF updates are free. The ability to fly additional planes does cost money, although the planes themselves are in the game regardless. I think we've all been spoiled by Oleg's generosity during the IL-2 era.

RoF has failed.

There is a lesson there for Oleg.

but I of course will bow to your much greater wisdom .....

Maybe ROF failed for you because you failed to realize that it was released as a WIP. I see ROF having a very bright future. Both ROF and SOW are being developed by fellow combat flight simmers, who have a love for the genre, without them the genre would be dead.

RoF is a buggy piece of junk that was released to early as a product in beta stage, and the "gaming model" is completely flawed and deserves to be a flop. nowhere on their product box or webpage does it openly and clearly state it is an unfinished beta product which was prematurely released because they ran out of money, you personally might not mind that, but the rest of us surely do.

the RoF game world is empty and lifeless and dead, no ground life or activity, plane flight models are scripted and not real physics (note for ex planes without wings flying around as if nothing has happened to them, untill they "bug fixed" it by adding "no wings = dead plane and fall to ground" etc..), no real online play (lacks dogfight and coop servers), lacks offline play (non existent), etc..

the main RoF forums have long lists of complaints and unhappy people (even if RoF has bribed several forum owners to censor open discussion), sales have slumped after their initial con trick of selling an unfinished product got realized. and now they want to keep charging you for the patches to fix it ? sure, pull the other one and see if we can laugh some more !

and why are you here again advertising it in a BoB forum ? keep that junk crap out of this forum
