I am 27, there are plenty of people out there who would like this game my age or older. I have seem no marketing efforts at all anywhere. Maybe we should post more videos. Maybe change the trail model to allow people to play for free with spitfires, lancasters, panzers jeeps and m3s? They will get addicted, want better planes and eventually pay. The price is the highest I ave seen for any other gaming. DCS does well just charging for planes. I think they pre-sold a few million dollars worth of their new f-16c model that releases in September. That game is always free to play and they have a lot of players buying planes. It would be hard for people with no experience flying PC games or real planes to learn this in just 30 days. I had a few people help me get used to this game but I flew ww2 games already so the learning curve for me was more just how things work in here. I have seen people help new players...and that was nice. A few months of flying spitfires around, they will get used to it and want better planes. Giving the 30 days to learn how to fly, fight and win, well that was a lot like the real deal in ww2 lol. On the other hand...not having 50,000 people online but only 150 at a time, allows you to get to know everyone and makes a competitive community...just not a good biz model.
I have to say my grandfather played for awhile and was made to feel welcomed by some of the better players. He flew Phantoms in Vietnam. The veteran aces in here probably would have liked to talk to him and learn from him. Instead, they said he was a liar and that he was really someone else. I get the same treatment at times but enjoy beating the best in here either because I am getting better or just not afraid to die trying and get lucky!
