I'm checking out other games also, and saw this post on WW2 online which soon also will be launching on steam


' Expensive subscription
$15 for a month is too much... '


I think it might be similar soon on AH

 :headscratch:  Man, $15..  It's been this way for a long..  :old:... time. Part of what drew me to it back in '04 (that, and it was playable on my dial-up). Too much? How does one figure?

' Expensive subscription

For what WWIIOL offered, it was expensive. That game's air combat was laughable and limited. WWIIOL is like Mario Kart compared to Aces High. Also, that comment was made Aug 9 2017 [edit: updated date]. WWIIOL is obsolete and no longer supported last I recall. It looks like it has 1999 graphics and the gameplay is intolerable. So... yes... $15/month for that POS *RIGHT NOW* is correct.

$15/month is a low prices when you think about it. Hell, it's a low price when you pay it. That's one and a half movie tickets a month. How many movies have you seen this summer? That's 50 cents a day. That $2 bottle of soda you probably drank recently? 4 days of Aces High. If you drink 8 bottles of soda (or sobe tea or whatever your poison) a month, guess what? That's an AH subscription.

It's not a lot if you're actually interested in the game and actually want to play it. There are tons of ways to make the payment. Some people just don't want to move 1 muscle to get things.

While true, a sub is difficult for some to get over.

I'm really curious to see what happens over the next couple months.  I have my theory, but I really can't wait to see how it goes in reality.

Kudos to HTC for their efforts on this front.   :salute

As a reminder to all, the AH Steam page has an AH Steam Community forum attached to it (button is at the top-right of the page), where Steam users will probably do all the same things they do on this forum (good and bad).  There are already posts there, from those who have questions about the game.  So... it might be a good idea to check in there now and then and make them feel welcome to the game and to "play nice with the new kids..."

Unfortunately you have to be a paying member of steam to do so...Or at least have deposited $5 bucks in an account.

Aces high is still playable on dial-up.

It's just that not many people have true dial-up capable hardware anymore.

Just buy a cheap game for a couple of dollars on Steam and you won't have to pony up $5.
