Someone has to pay for the giant Irish mega bunnies! 
In the case of Dublin, I don’t believe this infers inferior quality in their first incarnation of Dublin. I can see that a huge amount of extra work has gone into the new version with the addition of a new runway and fresh remodelling and added detail and added mega bunnies, (if they are being generated by this scenery). It’s a new airport. Personally, I believe the upgrade is well worth the money in this case. To put it in to perspective the upgrade to version 2, is the cost of 2-3 barista made coffee’s! Great value for a new airport. I think the developers have a right to earn their living, the cost of living has risen dramatically in these difficult times, we cannot expect developers not to move and adapt to the present economic downturn. We need to keep them employed so they can make more sceneries, especially if they are as good as this one!
