Aap Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Well, here you can see what the price of BoS was six years ago, when money was actually more valuable than today. The price dropped during summer of 2015, so it seems we were able to get this product at a reduced price for many years.
Danziger Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Well I will say this much. I WILL NOT pay one penny more than the price. 1 1
HappyHaddock Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Well I've not seen any mention of a proposed price for MS Flight Sim 2020 when it releases, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Microsoft are financially far more secure than the team behind IL-2. Nevertheless I'd be very surprised that even with a vastly bigger customer base for their new Flight sim they will still end up charging a lot more... Given the way so much is going with software I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't possible to "buy" MS flight sim 2020 but that you end up paying some inflated monthly subscription fee to access it, a monthly fee that could easily dwarf anything we pay here if actually worked out on a "per hour" basis of enjoyment on investment. What constitutes affordable or good value will always vary from person to person based upon their own circumstances and interests but as others have said compared to other flight sims out there IL-2 is definitely one of the more affordable current generation of flight sims. (as if that is a huge pool to compare against!)
OrLoK Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 to be honet, its not a huge hike. yes, for some of us its not cheap, but look at the content! I *might* have to wait for a post release sale in my current circumstances, but as we all know sales are often and frequent!

To cut a long story short my sister is a high achieving exec. in the world of finance based in the city of London. She had a disagreement with the Inland Revenue over the fact they had significantly UNDER calculated her annual income tax bill; she said she didn't want inconveniencing or harassing for the extra money later on in the year when they realised their mistake so she told them that even if the government/tax office didn't think she owed it, she still wanted to "voluntarily" pay them "extra" tax now just to make her life easier later on... They couldn't cope with that and refused to accept the over-payment because they didn't have a system to cope with it. 1

Plus two original twin-engine playable aircraft. We're trying to add a couple people to the team also and find a couple replacements for people who have left the team. It all adds up to more time than usual which means more money needed. Jason Jason, do you plan on building ships that once finished will be able to pull double duty as part of a Pacific expansion?
BornToBattle Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Companies exist for two reasons: profit and marketable product. If you hit the nail on the head with one, the other should follow. Everything has gone up over the years. Has and always will. It’s the nature of the beast. Except gas. Gas has gone down here in MN. At least it did for two hours during a special one day in Rochester...

Where I am, if people want to pay extra taxes throughout the year to either make sure they don't underpay or ensure they get a refund, they just fill out a form at the beginning of the year and write in the amount of extra tax they pay per paycheque. It just gets deducted from your pay every pay period and sent to the government. At the end of the year, you do your taxes and if you overpaid, you get a refund, and if you underpaid, the CRA comes and breaks your legs you just make a payment at your bank or something. I guess it might be harder if you have stocks/bonuses/commissions, but even those can be paid quarterly based on estimates, and no one cares as long as you pay up the final amount come April. 22 minutes ago, BornToBattle said: Companies exist for two reasons: profit and marketable product.

Yeah, the price of oil tanked hard. When people about the price of gas around here, I remind them that the price per litre right now is still lower than it was like 8 years ago. Its just that people got used to paying less than a dollar/litre so 1.30 seems like a real stretch. 1
Ribbon Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 For quality and content i want i would pay double, so 10$ is nothing....at least in flight sim world!
Taxman Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 I did some research on the price comparisons between DCS WWII and BOX, BOBP and BON. DCS Normandy map, asset pack and 5 planes, no campaign. With out discounts will cost $325.00 us. BOX, Rhineland and Normandy map, 18 planes and campaigns. With out discounts will cost, with collector planes, at least my costs $246.00 us. Best bang for the money no doubt BOX series. Again thank you Jason and your team. 3

216th_Jordan Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 If you build that pc yourself 1500€ should place you maybe 20% below to level performance that costs 3000€ or more.
