A subscription model is something we looked at many times. The issue is our flow of products is highly dependent on the state of the sim (for example we sell very few P3D add-ons right now) and not steady, sometimes we have 4 releases a month, sometimes we have two very large ones. Sometimes we have a CRJ that has a huge audience, sometimes we have an airport in New Sealand that only caters to a specific audience. We do not sell a ‘service’ as Adobe does, but products.
The simple fact is that if you want super high-end aircraft like PMDG does, you pay super high-end prices. And as PMDG has been very successful for many many years, there is a market for that. We aim for the 40 to 50 dollar market with some aircraft, 30 dollars for others. Airport prices depend a lot but are normally under 25 dollars. And we have been rather successful for over 30 years.
There is fantastic freeware that we recommend to everybody. I like my FlybyWire bus. We help these people any time we can, just ask them. We are also rather successful in selling our own DLC for the sim. I do not understand fully why people on forums like this feel the need to comment on products they have never even seen. If you bought one of our products and feel it is overpriced, please let us know. If you just see a price and do not know what the product is, perhaps better not comment?
