It ain't rocket science, Kidd. If you like the product, you buy it, if not you don't. I came here for one reason - the person/people behind the company. Although I've never made it to a con, I've had the pleasure to play WWII sims with these people. My first kill *ever* in AW came when HT dove in to bail me out. I was so excited, I turned tail and headed to base to land my kill. Then I see the text "25xx: NO BUGGING,TB!" (no name just tail numbers).
Anyway, the people behind the game aren't suits - they're players who were isnspired by games they played, and a desire to make them better. You're not going to find that many places. Thats not brown nosing, its a simple fact. They do a good job, and $15 a month is an EXCELLENT price for what you get. Thats a whole bunch of stuff to dismiss instead of having the guts to say "I was offbase - I shouldn't have said that."
