Financial Success of our Favorite Game ( Hopefully Series )

[Malfador]

Question for the Devs or perhaps the business side guys

 

All of our requests and sometimes pleas for new planes, content etc. really fallback to how well this game is doing from a business standpoint.  Strong sales will foster more devs, more planes more maps, theaters etc.  Was very happy to hear about the new maps and ME.  I think the ME will be worth the dev time and will ultimately increase sales.

 

I was happy to pay the $99 premium for this game.  This game is almost the exact evolution of flight simulator that I was hoping for.  I would be happy to pay per plane for new releases, content etc.  We are a niche audience in a quickly evolving industry.  I understood but was not happy with the unlock experience.  Someone decide that ultimately it would lead to more sales somehow. 

 

That being said I am really hoping to hear that sales results have been meeting or hopefully exceeding forecasts.  I would really like to know how things are going because that is what will ultimately decide what the future holds for this great flight simulation.

 

So how well is this project doing 3 + months into the launch?  A general idea would do, I wouldn't expect detailed financials.

 

Thanks for all the great work guys!!!!!!!!!!

+1

 

And, I don't even know what I have spent on RoF over the years, I am guessing about $300 to $500? But it is all worth it! Hundreds of hours of fun spread out over many years.. I hope BoS follows the same RoF model, it works well for both the user and dev IMHO

I get your point, I agree,but doubt any game company will be rushing to publish financial info.

This is like rubbing salt in an open wound. I read, remove unlocks and I got really really happy and though: FINALLY! Then I read... You need to be this or buy this and this.... *sob*

They made enough to keep going. Outside of that the dev's have made it something of a point to not discuss revenue or player numbers thus far.
