Rise of Flight planes and extras aren't like pokemon. You don't gotta catch em all. You get to pick and choose which cockpits etc you'd like to purchase, and which ones you don't. You still get the full game and you stay current with everyone else. I rather like that way of doing business. More so than the Maddox one of an addon every 21/2 years.

Feathered, have you ever been online with RoF and the map changes, what happens in some cases is half of the pilots dont have the next map's content and the other half quits for lack of online pilots.

So you dont have to "catch em all" at once but your time will come up sooner than later if you dont.

With that said, if online play struggles it's a big problem because no matter how great the sim is, if no one is on when you log in, it just doesnt matter...

I'll make it short because I'm kind of tired of the debate. There are so many people and they're all different somehow. But:

1. A demo is great. It can't possibly harm anyone. If done right it shouldn't take long to set one up and it draws people into the game. If possible allow semi-full multiplayer with one"weaker series" plane only per side e.g.

2. Do NOT sell maps, planes or other crap individually. All it does is it splits the playerbase even more. Guy A has the FW190 and Moscow map, guy has a Zero and Japan map and both can now successfully not play together. What an achievement.
Not everyone want's to or can afford to buy all the planes. Also it actually reduces the amount of planes available since each of them has to have a "selling point". I have yet to see a game that sells content like this and produces quality that's available to everyone. And no, model quality alone doesn't equal quality.
