@Winfield - I'd pay for that, it's less than 10$, have authentic voices and spot on character names. Although I think 12 mins for 10$ is way too much, at least consider selling misson 2 as DLC addon to mission 1 (like 15$ or something like that), maybe then 3rd mission with Christen Eagle, same mission with new voice overs, that I think would ensure proper sales.
That is a very fair point you have raised Iceecl, I will offer mission one and 2 at the discounted price of $5.95, however the bonus points will have to come into effect to purchase this campaign. I will offer this campaign outside of the standard "bonus points" which the consumer gets to use once every 2 years and only for 5 days out of that 2 year limit. I can see the sales of this campaign being like VEAO when pete carped on with "10's of thousands of hawk sales" so reading your thoughts I feel that making this campaign available 12 months of the years with the bonus points scheme I myself can boast "10's of thousands of campaign sales"
Really....how many people who have purchased modules\campaigns are sitting on bonus points that they can not use? I'd be happy to give away the campaign in return on bonus points that I can only once every 2 years.
I think the main problem we haven't discussed yet is the fact that nothing is ever fixed anymore. With DCS World or any game. Starting steam on any given day and many of the games I have receive updates. Technology in our CPUs, GPUs, etc always changes. Most of it isn't very compatible which is why you see things get broken after an update of DCS and then that requires an update and the whole thing helps make it seem nothing is finished. I cant think of a single game where I thought it was perfect how it is. Even ARMA 3 has enemies that can headshot you from the other side of a forest because they can see through trees. Easy for us to complain about but the time or technology to fix it may not be feasible.
Is ED out to get as much money from us as possible? HELL YES, they are a business. If your buying my car I'm not going to turn you down if you want to buy the CDs that are sitting on the seat. Do I think it fractures the community to make some things paid and others not? Yes, however, I have heard some good ideas on how to keep things paid add-ons and still including them for people who don't buy them. I still don't see ED as any worse than Electronic Arts. Or any of the games my children play on their phones and tablets that require more paid DLC or whatever you want to call it than anything I have seen from EA, ED, Ubisoft etc. And don't get me started on Fortnite.
I've been a lurker and post very rarely on SimHQ for a long time. It has gone from my favorite place to read about flight sims and other games to one I think twice about posting on for the reason of being called a "fan boy" or whatever. Yes I'm a fan of DCS World and many other imperfect games. Anytime something new about DCS is announced its like a race for someone here to be the first to bash it. That's fine, I understand and agree with some of it. But from what I have seen, most people are pissed about what someone else from another company promised people, took peoples money and failed, and ED took it over to the delight of many people at first.
I guess it confuses me because if I paid a company to build me a table and they took my money and suddenly disappeared but I saw you built tables I would still have to pay for the second table. I love all the opinions on this site. We are all passionate about flight sims or else we wouldn't be here reading about them or get heated about it like we do. Buy the modules if you want, don't buy them if you don't want them. Doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to anyone.
And for the record, yes they could go waaay lower. Just ask my wallet after my kids found the game Fortnite.
Out of all that crap posted LC, Let me break it down

Paradaz has summed up and answered this member's opinion in this paragraph numerous times in many of the threads here over the last 5 years.....

last time I looked this was a DCS thread, go figure....no mention of fortnight, EA, kids phone apps and the like......

let me suggest those who 'lurk' here can lurk over at mudspike with the rest of the non believer's Those who don't see reason and signed up on mudspike's forums and stayed there....let me suggest as I have before....
choof off and tell 'em all I said Hi"....especially Sobek, Nate, Skate and the rest of the ED cohorts.
Mind you, they still lurk out here in these forums but have the decency to not bother commenting and spreading filth any more these days. Those who feel that same way as the poster above take a leaf out of their book.
I like the way this post starts the paragraph though...a rant and then does an about face inviting someone to 'bash' it... Thank you for the invite, I'd rather just bash the entire post, not just one paragraph within....

Quite a contradictory paragraph or 2, this is SimHQ, SimeHQ has nothing to do with tables, may I suggest to those who have purchased dodgy household items....take it up with the manufacturer. What do tables etc have to do with DCS?
like I said earlier, to those who post garbage here and contradict themselves, head over to the Mudspike forums and register. Posts like the one above here above are welcome over at those forums.
just to reiterate to those who come here spewing fiction and no fact....
SimHQ is obviously not for you or the "has been's" or perhaps the "never was been's" these days, join NineLine, Skate or some other clown that cares to read the crap that is spewed above here. comments and posts like these ^^ are highly valued over at mudspike.
