bustr,
I'm pretty sure I've gone longer than a week without asking HTC for something, ok maybe no more than two weeks... Get it
On a serious note. You come across as ignorant by painting me with the same brush as those who can only be satisfied week by week. For the best part of five years I was content learning the art of aerial combat via the Aces High service. Sure I foolishly posted the odd plane suggestion in the wishlist forum every time my immature excitement of wanting to experience something new got the better of me, but who hasn't? Personally my main reason for unsubscribing from Aces High was due to dwindling player base having an effect on my personal game play. Would I still be subscribed to Aces High if the numbers were still at their peak? Who knows.
Let's me be frank. HiTech is a business man. He's selling a product to feed his family, heat his home, maybe even enjoy the finer things in life. If his product begins to become stale then it's his prerogative to make it once again appeal to his chosen target audience. People like you and I, who've put many years into one game are very, very rare. I'm sure HiTech knows roughly the duration of his average customer's stay. Let me ask you this: Would you still subscribed to Aces High if it was still using the very first release candidate? If I was going to hazard a guess I would probably say not.
As it happens, I just read an article which stated the game under the title of Star Citizen has surpassed $84 million in funding. So I find you're analogy about: "more toys used to buy good will, the less charitable the players." falls absolutely, positively, comprehensively flat on its face.
