Honestly this is no shock. When the Nextlander crew bounced, I had a feeling Jeff intended to stay on for a set amount of time (a year) to steer the ship somewhere more sustainable before leaving as well. I hope this means Jeff can go out there and make something new. <>
@xdeser2: Seeing how MFS gives you more content than what people have dropped thousands of dollars on for X-Plane 11 addons, I think it's very fairly priced.
Simulators are different than games when it comes to pricing and add-ons. It's typically a smaller player base, made up of diehard enthusiasts that are happy to pay for content that they think is worthwhile.
The fact that the base game comes with 20 aircrafts and 30 handcrafted airports along with the reaming 45,000 airports in this game is insane as is.
Very much this. I've spent over a thousand dollars on hardware and software for flight simulation to get my PPL. All of the stuff in this for 120 dollars is actually crazy cheap compared to the wild west of third party developers that gladly charge over a hundred dollars for a single simulated aircraft (PMDG). Also, if the price is off-putting, just get gamepass and play the base game for almost nothing.
This looks like the most cynical product EA's ever produced. 30 dollars for what looks like a bad game aimed at kids on top of a battle pass and shit load of microtransactions. Not to mention stealing the name from an established thing. From the art style to the game mechanics, every single aspect is lifted from something else.
