They really had an opportunity to build on something good by expanding on the campaign story. But it seems likely that once they got as far as they did with Infinity, 7 got the green light, and they quickly shfited nearly everything they had over to workking on 7. Not very many things added to the game differed from the "future prospects" trailer, a trailer that at the time many thought was more of a next few months type of look, rather than what turned out to represnt nearly a year's worth of content. Continuing the campaign story would have meant more than likely at least a couple more missions, which would have meant new maps to then move over to the co-op mode. It's been months at this point since there was a full update to the game, with no updates looking likely at all for the near term.

I continue to expect that what they are doing//will do, is accumulate the last bits and pieces of content they intend to add to the game, including a couple yet-to-be released planes/variants (Camilla's CFA for example), alongside a few maps (we're still missing a couple Hard maps I believe) and campaign missions, and do one large final update sometimes near or shortly after 7's launch, as their farewell to Infinity (I handicap a +/- 3 month window around the launch of 7). I doubt they'll ever make Infinity completely free, but sort of like they were doing before with the Forced Sorties, I've noticed that recently fuel has been on sale more often than not, so I think they'll eventually just make the current sale price the new full price (and maybe make permanent a new supplied fuel cap and/or faster replishment rate on supplied fuel). But again, I doubt any of this will happen until the team is done with 7, as I don't think they have anyone but the bare minimum staff keeping Infinity going right now, given how small the PA staff supposedly is.
