Oooooh, a Normandy map!
Let's see, that would be the FREE Normandy map, right? That's the one that ED and their partners promised for free, as part of the free "core game." right?
From the Kickstarter Page:
"DCS WWII: Europe 1944 will also distribute via a free-to-play model, with the core game available as a free download!"
That could NEVER be the one on their website now, could it?
"DCS: Normandy 1944 Map - $44.99"
Wait, you say there is NO free downloadable "core game?" But...but...but, they PROMISED!
Oh, and don't EVER believe ED isn't responsible for 100% of what was promised in the DCS WWII Kickstarter campaign. They are. They were a full partner and would have easily been able to take legal action against any partners who left, to recover funds and complete the project. Oh, and there's that little matter of the letter on their Facebook page, from November 28th. It's available to read in the thread here:

So, it seems they have PLENTY of money to complete the project. They have so much money that they're using DCS WWII as a cash cow to support their modern sim (DCS World) development.
If you backed the game and didn't get EVERYTHING you were promised, write to them and make noise. Post on public forums EVERYWHERE about what they're doing. If you're a WWII simmer, you've just been kicked in the virtual nads by ED. Get outraged and take action.
I'm actually very sorry I was SO right with everything bad I said about them over the past few years. They're never going to get a dime from me now, NEVER EVER.
