how much did you pay for all the stuff? must have been a fortune, even in a sale!
I try not to think about that

I did buy alot in offers, like the ardennes assault when it was 75% off last year. Commanders and skins I didn't have from just playing the game I buy with a certain budget a month, buying the ones I wanted to use first ofcourse. That way it does not hurt alot.
For me it's simply becaurse the people who make these games (and more important, updates) need to be payed to and I like to contribute to that as long as they keep working on my game. To many games are just beeing let to die out, just becaurse the creators stops updating them becaurse most people just don't want to pay for a good game experiance.
Now don't get me wrong, paying for dlc skins is a bit silly to me to (altough I still did it from time to time, UKF and USF only, as I don't play axis or Russian) as they don't add much more then something visual, but commanders actually contribute to the gaming experiance so I am happy to pay for those (all factions).
