I hope you are aware that 15$ is not 15$ in every country...... there are countries where 15$ costs 4 or 6 times more than 15$ in usa,  because that is the change of 1 $.

So a country might be poorer and someone has to pay 6 times more...... suddenly 15$ doesn't seem so cheap, but more like 120$ in usa.


  Nice assumption!

  FYI  I dont live in the USA,my dollar is only 3/4 of a US buck.


  Way back when,it cost me over 20 bucks an hour to play,ya 20 bucks and hour in 1990's dollars at that! I had the hourly fee and a long distance charge for my phone connection.


  I pay a kid 20 bucks to cut my lawn.......  The point is it's not the money IMHO,if you're having fun and enjoying yourself for 50 cents a day it's money well spent!  If you're not then the cost doesnt matter one bit!

  LOL I wish!! :rofl :rofl

 We have 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins! :devil

  I quit going to the coffee shop,was spending about 5 bucks a day there..... you do the math!   I bought a machine and pay about 50 cents a cup instead of 2 bucks or so!


  I need to find that country where 15 bucks is equal to 120 bucks,I might be rich then!!!! :rofl :rofl

 Actually Lusche,now that I think about it,it's fathers day and my family loves me so I am rich!!!  Oh and happy fathers day to you Sir!

Back in the days of Air Warrior on GEnie, it was $12/hour, then $6/hour.

I knew people who ran up $700/month bills playing it in the early 1990's.  That is $1200 in today's money.  (Yeah, we don't have much inflation.  I got a Baconator at Wendy's a couple days ago.  It was $7.40.)

Here's a thought. AH3 does not have the numbers it needs for the sand box that it is; when you log on there is no direction besides what you decide on. What if you allowed the game to be free to play with a limited aircraft selection and no skins !?if nothing else you get people playing it...and more potential subscribers to that want to fly the P51D/Me262/B17

Also,  I firmly believe 2 weeks is not enough time to get hooked on this game. The first 3 months of this game your absolute bellybutton at it and end up being a ball of flame for 90% of it.  You have to learn the match ups, advantages and disadvantages of each aircraft, general mechanics and lingo plus a hundred other small details that win/loss a fight. Furthermore, it takes longer to find quality fights than it use too. Extend it to a month.

Should a steam deal be made I think changes should be at least attempted.
Sooo... u would rather have people get adicted to the game rather
than play the game for enjoyment?

Please explain how $15 (note the $ is supposed to be written first) is not $15 everywhere?

Isn't the bolded part the definition of a sandbox game?

But what about the "other" 2 weeks? :headscratch:

Those 2 weeks come into the equation at a later date TBD.

With the exchange rate I think Canadians are paying about $20. for the US $15

Bank of Canada this am shows .7533 Canadian to the US dollar, wonder if that's what Nug was referring to as I believe he's out of the US, not sure where

Well I meant the exchange rate, $15 is $15 everywhere, but some pay more for  $1 than others.
