Of all the crazy, deranged out of left field crap you spew at people on here
This is the only thing I agree with.
I have only been playing DCS since 2020 and the one constant thing about that game
is the company's horrible business practices.
Depends on what you are referring to.
* 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.
