I agree. I think it's easier said then done in this day and age when one can play so many games without a sub. I know the current game that I play has the option of a premium account and has many younger players without access to a way to pay a sub and they are still able to be competitive without the sub. There's also the mindset of pay once and own in forever like DCS and Il2 competing.

In the pay once models, you still have to pay for more new stuff all the time if you want the game to be complete.

$9.99 would be my choice but I’m not signing the checks it pays for lol. I guess you can at least say that Aces High is inflation proof.

I wasn't aware of that. I have some BoX maps that I only bought a couple planes on and don't have all the new stuff and I can still compete. Maybe that's a DCS thing?

Inwas referring to the stock IL2’s you still have to buy extras if you want everything. I’ve never played at multiplayer so I couldn’t tell you about any of that. I don’t care. I do use it for single player sometimes it’s a good way to get good practice. I’ve definitely carried some things into here.
