Full time scenery dev here - I'll keep it short and simple:

1. Product prices are, on average, 25-50% lower than P3D back in the day due to competition and larger market
2. We sell 50-100% more copies than back in the P3D days
3. Microsoft fees are really high (I cannot disclose the exact number)
4. Development costs are getting higher due to inflation

​

It's a challenging market to be in. But I agree that there are products out there that are not great and aggressively priced.

​

I saw a comment regarding "lack of competition" - quite the opposite. There is a lot of competition, driving prices down and development costs up.
