I came, I saw, I have my first hickup

You're missing the point that if products that have not stopped development, that is, you expect continued updates and support for a product, and yet only pay an initial fee, then where's the big problem with paying for what you get. LM has rights to use Microsoft code you already paid for in FSX, and yet you pay for P3D.

 

...You're thinking along the lines that if it were a replacement car then the metal has to be sourced again and so you expect to pay for it. But code can simply be copied at no cost, right?

 

Steve, I agree with the points you mention. I noticed you are a developer, and what you do,  certainly takes a lot of knowledge, time, and skills. 

 

My desire (and of many), is  they could offer a discount considering what other developers are doing, and considering many users are leaving  FSX... a sim which after many years many have been reluctant to get rid of; this especially due to the amount of money invested on it.

 

However, I personally appreciate the tremendous effort developers do. I would not even know where to start in developing any of these products. So, this is something I highly appreciate. Without these products, we wouldn't be simming.
