* I'll take buy to own rather than endless subscription any day.
* They didn't have to go spend years to clean up Oleg's WWII Kickstarter fiasco at their own expense, but they did.*
* Their modules are pricey, but extremely detailed and effort increases exponentially with complexity. It is not linear. I think the module prices are reasonable given what you receive especially given how frequent they have sells.
* I can think of pros and cons to the Halfganistan approach. I haven't taken a stand on that.
* They take too long to produce a module. Even with the complexity, they have to speed up their process.
* The WWII Asset pack made sense for a while at first, but at this point it is working against their interests.
* The Razbam thing is unclear. Everyone is going to take a side even without information.I think it looks like a Razbam issue at least as believably as a ED issue. Seems to be Razbam is in some violation of contract on something and ED is withholding payment until Razbam gets back into compliance. There is as much evidence for that case as any other. Hardball, but that is business.
* Early Access program seems reasonable given the complexity of some of these platforms. We had plenty of fun with that APache before FCR came out. There would have been no point waiting for that.
* I do wonder if the whole Pre-Pay thing is more trouble that it's worth and will often lead to hard feelings. As much as I joke about the Kiowa, I've never paid a penny for it so that is a different feeling than if Poplychop already had my money for 6 months.
Hmm, maybe bad wording, don’t get me wrong…this payment system IS popular with players, its a good selling point..however its a nightmare for accounting the second AC aren’t coming out. Great for the player, not healthy for a company. If the company suffers the player will eat it. No reason for repeat.
My opinion of the game play has zero to do with numbers, numbers are math, math is absolute. One has to separate one self from opinion and study the numbers to arrive at an accurate prediction. Mixed with odds, human nature and patterns.
My opinion?
AH - a lot of dogfights, w/ good graphics
DCS - great graphics w/ some dogfighting
Neither is better, its as personal preference as music.
A lot of people like beer, I don’t like beer, I don’t drink beer. A lot of people prefer wine, some scotch,…Different mindsets.
My objection?
Talking about McDs in Burger King is one thing, who cares? Walking in Burger King with a McDs bag and talking to BK customers about it is in bad taste, provocative. It rarely ends well. In provocation words are exchanged, words exchange promotes drama, drama is a scene, a scene causes damage. There seems to be motive to cause damage in the design. It’s similar to someone walking by your car and keying the side. It was a conscience decision. Intensionally scratch the car I love and we’re at war, rightfully so. Nothing abnormal about my reaction. It should have been predictable.
My attitude?
I don’t walk away from fights, I go face first into it. I have zero to lose, everything I had is gone x4, I cannot be intimidated. No one on earth can hurt me more than has already been done. Does someone actually think I’m going to melt when called poopy butt? I will fight the good fight, however ridiculous. I sleep well.
I’m a good human with good intentions. I disrespect, those who disrespect me. Those who respect me get the shirt off my back. I refuse to change that.
Don’t mistake my harsh words for anger nor weakness, that’s how I talk to people who push disrespect on me. Words cannot damage me, but they show me who someone is and who to avoid.
Those who life has not porked them yet, may have issues understanding my way. I’m not worried about it. I own myself.
