I find it very interesting how many people have prefabricated opinions here, judging a product that isn't even marketed.
The people promoting this mission-pack at least know the history of the company to deliver quality. And those, which are saying it's too expensive, there are many hours of work in there and it's no hobby project, it's made to earn money. This product serves a niche-market with a low number of customers, that is always more expensive than mass-market, in every product. The difference to free products, as far as i experienced, is the more realistic approach and better research. If you just want to have fun, the free missions will serve you well, but if you will try to relive what the pilots felt, with no instant dogfight, but with hours of boredom paired with minutes of terror, dealt out as historical correct as possible atm, you should spend the money.

Robtek. I think you would agree that there would little to NO pre-judging if they HAD NOT stamped a price tag (Large Tag at that) on it before it was ready to release.. There fault on that. Nice to have hindsight though.

If a company developes a product the price is calculated in advance. It is calculated how many copies will probably be sold, how many man-hours are needed, how many overhead for printing and accessories is necessary and so on. So, the calculated price is fixed before production is finished. Why not publish it? Every other Software company does it??

Desatersoft, is just exploiting a loophole, in the fact that Cod was realeased with no dinamic campaign, and a very crappy normal campaign,
And by charging 30 bucks, they probably knows, theres alot of suckers out there that will pay

Can anyone remember such a price dis ussion about their IL2'46 adons?
Just wondering because they are in the same pricerange. And for IL2'46 there were realy a lot of good free downloadable missions/campaigns. IF this will be the case for CoD , time will tell-having CoD's FMB in mind. This thing is only similar to the '46 one for the first look! As said, nobody is forced to buy such adons, they dont change the gameversion. And yes , gamecontent for IL2 classic was also made by 3.party , from the Hyperlobby to dynamic campaign generators! That was never the strength of 1C:MG

I can understand that some people are not willing to pay this price but hey, why quarreling about it? Just don't buy it if it is too expensive for you. Just wait until some cheaper or free stuff will turn around. I for my part liked the demo but as long as the AI is not fixed I won't get too much into single player and therefore won't spend the money on a sp campaign. However, if they finally manage to fix the AI and the FM issues I surely will spend some money on quality sp campaigns as I did for IL2. Imho the commercial campaigns that I bought were well worth their money and not one single free campaign came even close. Which seems obvious: hobby campaign designers spend some of their spare time on it and it is extremely difficult to put that many hours into such a project. And selling a campaign puts some nice pressure on the designer to deliver or he will be sooner out of business than he can say x#.@*
