Unfortunately the in game "sales" of items, components, and add-ons is the future model because it's proven to be financially successful on numerous other fronts.

I'd pay $100 to get Half-Life 3

A stop in on occasion to see if anyone is playing but haven't seen anyone on. A couple of times I saw Gunny, but couldn't get in touch with him and when I joined the game he quit. I'll try not to take it personally.
