My hope is that manufactures come to that conclusion in time. I suspect we will see a larger influx of users in six or so months time.
I will say, I have seen some phenomenal freeware airports popping up for this Sim + aircraft mods, and utilities, that gives me great hope for the future of add-on content.
Though Ironically, I would still rather buy a payware item from the in-game market place than I would get it through a third party, that way I can have easy package updates without the need for additional software.
