I'm with Mark G on this one. Warbirds has always been a subscription business model....doesn't interest me in the slightest. Online only doesn't work for me either...I don't like having to solely rely on other human being for my flight simming enjoyment.

Everyone was all excited to hear Wild Bill was working on a tank sim not long ago...what came out looked like it was coded on a speak and spell. I looked at Steam charts for previous Warbirds offerings...peak players lifetime was 8 on one version...5 on another. The brand
is hurting so buying the "Microprose" badge is a hail Mary pass IMO. The purchasing of the "Jane's" brand worked for that arcade game not long ago...tripped up some unsuspecting customers who saw Jane's and purchased without realizing it was not a sim.

Who knows...the Unreal 4 engine might give them a boost for folks that like air quake type flying.
