Why not pay every month to play COD!

Greate answer Gents verry interesting, could be fun to put up a vote box in here any one that could make one (I do not know how) lets keep it simpel and just say, (if better make a new post linked to this post)

1. Would pay for IL2 on a monthly bases, more then 10$ each month.

2. Would pay for IL2 on a monthly bases, less then 10$ each month.

3. No way, only pay for Main release and for Sequels or bigger updates.

Just reinstalled il2 FB, felt like I have been missing something. I'll start playing other games B4 I pay to play. If you want to sell me an expansion fine but I'm not leasing a freaking game. Please stop with the very bad ideas.

Here's a funny video by the Mega64 guys about how DLC can go wrong:

That is because Guse is working at the speed of 'free'!

I know. But the discussion is that "modders" will take up the slack in aircraft development, and I'm using the B24 as an example of how long it will take the unpaid "modders" to create content. And as good as the B24 is, and it's real good, it is not even close to the specs for Cliffs and beyond.

Osprey, I will not pay a monthly subscription, nor will I buy aircraft one at a time at the 1C store. So, I won't be playing it if they go that route. I am prepared for that. If it goes under before hand anyway, well, it would be sad, but I'm a big boy now and there are things in life far more important than a piece of gaming software. I didn't cry when I walked away from RoF, and I won't if I have to quit CloD for whatever reason.

You walked away from RoF? Could you not just get the ICE version and be done with it? RoF, imho, right now is the best looking and most realistically simulated flightsim on the market.

I paid for it once.

Now my original game is just a "demo level".

As I said I am done with their pay per plane business model, and I really really resent their begging for money in the emails I get peridically from them.

The whole thing is a scam.

If you enjoy it, that's fine, I'm glad you have found something you like in it. Really I am, but it's not for me.

One thing seriously overlooked here is the detail in the models today, not only graphically but behaviorally too. The point is they all take way more man hours to make and that means higher costs - but there aren't more people buying the game and relative spending power has actually dropped in the past 10 years. Everyone here wanting sequels and free patches with content is dreaming if they think they'll get the 200+ aircraft which the first series ended up with. You have to face up to the fact that you have to pay or development stops. The problem I have is that I see people complaining about how they spent £2000 on a supercomputer and somehow see it as 1C's job to deliver something worthy of it - so the failure of a £40 game is the tipping point for them - they think they have paid enough. If you join a golf club the membership fee and quality of course has no bearing on the cost of your golf clubs, bag, balls and shoes!

When you add it up £40 for a game is remarkably cheap for the hours of entertainment = you don't get that in any other hobby I know of. I think there needs to be more to secure the longevity of the series this time, DLC is the only thing I can think of right now which avoids the truly awful subscription. Just because 777 have lost sight of producing a testament to the Great War air fighting it doesn't mean that 1C have to.

If all else fails let the modders make it
