Whenever I make a comment on a dcs or il2 yt video the responses aren't positive...

They are ok spending serious $$$ on each plane, map or campaign but $15 a month is a budget buster lol

DCS/IL2 were smart to get them $$$ invested into their ongoing purchases - makes it harder to walk away from, so they double down on trying to get more people to play it. 
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I guess..

I have invested over $4,485 in AH since I started in game fees alone..not counting hardware upgrades lol..

It's more than that as that doesn't count when it was $29.95 a month before it dropped to $14.95..

For 25 years of entertainment I think it was a fantastic investment!

I have many DCS planes and terrains and I'd like some assurance I can still use them if the company goes under. If the company doesn't provide for that I expect someone will make a way.

Couple of notes here. I have 4 accounts on both IL2 and WT and there is no monthly fee for these. I buy planes when they go on sale and pick up planes on both platforms for usually around $5. (if I see something I really like)
The annual cost for these 8 accounts for me is pretty much $0 unless I choose to spend on something.
8 accounts on AH3 would cost me over $1,400 a year... $1,400 a year is a budget buster for me :)

So why are you here and not playing them?  Don't they have their own forums for you to peruse? Should several of us pop by and assert that we have no interest in playing vs low-skill players in mostly empty airspace, even for free?   

FTP in $ arenas is not going to be happening here, so why not just... move on?  Or... start running a player-arena, free, right? Play with your family there?

I know that it will never be free to play here. I don't expect it and even if it was I doubt that I would come back as long as people like you are still around. I do however have friends that are still here that have played since AWdos days that I get PMs from and like to interact with.

Wow, your toxicity is everywhere. You have to go around the forums to attack me wherever I make a post. If that isn't getting on somebodies ankle I don't know what is. Did you every stop to think actions like that is why you'll soon be playing with yourself?  You seem to never miss an opportunity to attack people and talk tough from behind your keyboard.

The best part is that you talk as if you're a skilled player. I've seen you fly. You're mediocre at best.

Less lies in your lying, plis, kthx.

You always hump my ankle here - go take a look at our interactions here.  You have issues letting go of your butthurt with me and some mod.  :rofl

You're incapable of making informed decisions about others' skills in this game because your fundamentals are lacking across the board.   :ahand

Try not to conflate lack of my effort with a lack of skill.  :rofl

Set up a custom arena - 16 players, play with these alleged family members you claim. It's free. <----- free, free, FREE    What's your excuse again?

I agree. During most of the time I played it was well worth it. Especially after paying the hourly charges on GEnie. I was single back then when I was on GEnie, and didn't really have to eat so it was ok :)

There is not much chat in DCS. SRS is for relevant chat only.

DCS has it's own voice comms now and a lot of people have been moving away from SRS, On top of that you have discord and the old Teamspeak and Mumble. You also have text chat.

I find Discord can be a bit too chatty when you need to constantly check 6. No sit back on auto climb and look at the AH awacs which makes the two very different. 

I am not knocking AH. DCS is allot of scanning for dots and then being terrified of shooting down a friendly  :D

Not much opportunity to chat.
