What the hell is wrong with someone wanting to be compensated for their time and work? I don't understand some of the opposing logic - if you don't like the product, don't buy it! But for God's sake, you shouldn't EXPECT it to be free!
I will gladly pay for a quality add-on that is a reasonable price. My only immediate concern right now is the pricing on this product. Like I said in the previous SimHQ thread (now deleted - still don't know why the thread had to be deleted) - is if I am willing to make a leap of faith on the product - why can't you offer me the full 100-mission package for a more reasonable amount of $50-60? Being a business owner myself, typically you want to have more cashflow up front to help drive your project incentives to completion - because there has already been investments made and you will have to deliver. The problem with the current pricing model (in my opinion only) is you are more at risk of having potential buyers say - hmmm, well I don't like the 3 out of 10 boat "search and destroy" missions in this package, so I'll skip that one. Besides, if you are really serious about making 100 missions and creating a new standard for WOV, great - let me invest in your vision - ALL of your vision, not 10 at a time...
