Why Microsoft decided to publish Flight as it is

Featured Replies

This works with any corporate decision, read in it's entirety for a good laugh.The Plan to develop and publish FlightIn the beginning was The Plan (Flight).And then came The Assumptions.And The Assumptions were without form.And The Plan was without substance.And a terrible darkness fell upon the face of the Aces team. And they spoke amongst themselves, saying "It is a crock of crap, and it stinks."And the Aces Team went unto their Supervisors and said loudly, "It is a bucket of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."Whereupon the Supervisors went unto their Managers and didst say, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."The Managers went quickly up into the upper-offices and seeing there the Directors of Microsoft Games, went unto them, saying in pious voices, "It is a vessel of fertiliser, and none may abide it's strength."After much feasting and lewd revellry, the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids growth, and it is very strong."And together the Directors went up onto the mount, and finding there the Vice President, said gravely, "It promotes growth, and is very powerful."Seizing upon this information the Vice President went unto the President of Microsoft Games, saying, "This new Plan, Flight, will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company with very powerful effects."The President looked upon The Plan and saw that it was good.And The Plan became policy.And this is how Crap (like Flight) happens.Feel free to adapt to any corporate or beauracratic policy decisions... :(

That was funny, but...Don't pile it on poor old ACES, who like ourselves were themselves massively shat upon!"Flight" is the conception of an entirely new group of not-so-deep thinkers who truly haven't a clue...

Hi,In a word ..."BINGO"... hits the nail right on the head.

Don't pile it on poor old ACES, who like ourselves were themselves massively shat upon! "Flight" is the conception of an entirely new group of not-so-deep thinkers who truly haven't a clue...

That's what I'm trying to say... it wasn't Aces fault, they were victims too. :(

I know what you're trying to say, it just that ACES had absolutely nothing to do with "Flight." Nothing at all. Nada. Zip. Zilch. The lights at the former ACES studio had been out for months before "Flight" even began... :(
