I think claiming that ED is closing the door in people's faces is pretty darned arrogant too. They have a plan, and right now, they are catering to the LARGE helicopter community which hasn't had a new hard core sim for a LONG time.
And if you can claim they are arrogant, how arrogant are you to presume on knowing more than they about what the market is like, and telling them how to run their business?
People paid $40 or whatever for LO, two years ago. They got patches, they still will likely get another, but LO is over and done with. Live with it.
Why not go complain about EA dropping Jane's or something now?
Maybe you should start your own company and cater to the A2A crowd then. I like A2A very much myself, but I don't feel like ED owes me another A2A sim. I -want- them to produce one, 'cause I want my hi-fi F-15C, but thinking that they OWE it to anyone? Rather huge, inflated sense of self-entitlement there. Why don't you go see what $100 will buy you in the industry? (I'll make it easy for you: On the cheap side, you might get 60 min of phone support - we're pretty lucky the gaming industry hasn't adopted that ... )
