we've chosen to flip the bird in another direction and opt not to buy. it's not the price, it's the principle.

I want the option to strangle my opponent with my scarf.

Then shoot him with the sidearm!

What principle? That the developer should give their work away for free? Some principle.

I didn't realize that Occupy Wall Street was now targeting the game industry.

Think about what you are paying for. I don't see this as a game purchase, well not in the same sense a standard game. Granted what we had on release was an incomplete game. but to be absolutely fair to the developers, not only did they bring the game up to what i see as very near complete and perfect sim, they also listened to us and gave us things we asked for in the sim, all free of charge.
These optional purchases i see as extras, and you don't need to purchase them, nor does it affect the quality of the sim without them. They are just that, EXTRA content and i think that they should be paid for. Our sim community is a very small niche group tbh, how would it be possible for a company to keep on working on a project of this quality and content for free for so long?

I support the developers as much as i can, but there are addons i haven't and probably won't buy. Field mods for one i find too expensive and i can't justify the expense. i wish i could buy everything but i can't ;(

More than anything i want to continue to see this sim evolve and grow, and maybe in the future i will see a WW2 sim as noteworthy as Rise of Flight!!

Oh my gawd! I think my dentures flew across the room (if I had them... )

Yeah, let's all have a little fun with the ensemble options, but in the end you all have to agree this is one of the best updates that didn't involve an aircraft.
Try to argue that! (always wanted to find an excuse to use that emoticon...).

Anyone get the Dec 25th email announcement??? I'm sure they simply neglected to include Vander's campaign. Have a look at the campaign details, I've flown some missions just this morning, very nice...

Thanks Devs and Vander! Best sim holiday weekend in a loooong time.

I was about to post the same thought. Support ROF as best you can and maybe down the road they will expand it into a WW2 mode as well! Now I got colored streamers, scarfs and a pistol to shoot to.

Occupy wallstreet-that's a good one! Non-working twits wanting something for free.

Yeah, that's what I don't get----how many of these wads would continue working on a job they've already been paid out for.

Curious, wonder how many of these folks are working gratis on a daily basis......funny thing is I'm gonna guess not a single one.....

Maybe MS will create a new WWI-oh wait, when pigs fly. What the h-e-double toothpicks is it you guys don't get-if the developers don't get any more money THEY ARE MOVING ON-NO MORE UPDATES!!!!! I'm guessing that even in Russia, people need to make money to survive ( weak pun-forgive me ROF guys!) so why do you think that they'd continue updating and upgrading this sim-for nothing???

Does anyone in their right mind think that someone else will put this kind of effort in a WWI sim?

Yeah, I know they love this sim but the kids gotta eat, don't ya know!!! Jeez.

I think that while it's sometimes true that you don't get what you pay for (cough..CoD..cough) it's even more true that you will never get what you don't pay for.
I think the ROF developers have done a great job balancing between unpaid-for and paid-for content. For crying out load, they are giving away the basic game for free! What other flight sim does that?

Think of it this way - continued support for this sim costs about $10 a month. That is about the price of a TrackIR for a year of RoF. Is it worth it to you? It is to me.

There are about 60 more planes that I want to see. I want to see the AI continue to be improved. So it costs a bit. I feel like I am getting good value.
