It's a nice program, but definitely not without its flaws, like most other software.
I don't like the price... but given that RC is a niche market, I can understand it.
They might never make their money back, let alone profit, if they charged typical game prices.
Being that they are in business to make a profit, it's perfectly understandable
Especially since it isn't in your everyday computer stores...
which to me was a marketing blunder, by the way... they could've charged less
and tripled or quadrupled sales, with the right angle. It could have sold hundreds (thousands?)
of copies just based on impulse buys... just like the "toy" park flyers are selling right now.

It boils down to "what it's worth to someone serious about RC", the way it's sold currently.
(Much like some of the specialty items for auto racers, fishermen, boaters, motocross freaks, etc...)
Wanna play? Gotta pay. I still figure on picking up a copy of my own soon
RF G2 is pretty much the accepted standard now, and the multiplayer mode is the kicker.
