We will be paying around fifty dollars an addon, plus fee patches for the next ten years or so. I think the days of free content we had in the original series are over, atleast until most of the COD issues are addressed. I agree our pay back in entertainment value will be far more than the minuscule cost we'll pay for that software.

Here is my problem: Being an offline flyer, for the the $50 dollars I have paid I have had ZERO entertainment so far. Many others have stated that they have shelved this til it's fixed, and they have got ZERO entertainment so far. The money may seem "minuscule" to you, but I generally don't hand out fifties to be an alpha tester so I can pay more money later for a playable product. I just hope the things that need fixing to make the offline play functional don't take another year and don't cost more money to make COD work as intended.

I understand your angst. Atleast you made an investment in the series, so its possible to have a sim to play in the future, rather than it being canelled. Personally I've had more than my monies worth already as my system runs COD well, and I'm learning the new CEM etc offline and making use of it online. I agree the offline experience is not much good for anything but practice flying, shooting, and CEM. The next patch should make the sim stable on most systems, and hopefully they will include some fixed game play issues aswell. The developer hasn't said anything, but I think there will be plenty of time before the release of the sequel for another free patch for COD that will address even more of the game play issues.

The explanation is sooo easy, they've developed a simulation!

Gaming was always secondary, like a afterthought, or nice to have.

And with the shortened deadline they've had other, more important things to do as a career system i. e.
