This is exactly the type of people that Micrososft is hoping to attract and they will uninstall it after 10 minutes - there will be no purchase of additional content. Good job Microsoft, way to kill a franchise!

"Today Jan 8th, 2012" I think maybe he is from the future or just high, I don't think it's Jan 8th anywhere in the world yet :)

just posted this in the german speaking forum. This user tests FSX and everything he says (looks crappy, can't fly, too complicated…) are reasons why FLIGHT has become what it is (from the standpoint of who MS wants to attract):http://youtu.be/4CLyntxE9Xw

Although I can't understand a word he is saying, it sounds like he may be the brother or relative of the guy above in the first video. I agree that some will like Flight, but anyone who owned FSX and played it or bought a single addon will uninstall Flight after 10 minutes. Edited by rs651

LOL Funniest part is that he says at the end he wont be getting it. After the anger dies down I think we will all forget about it and maybe it will make its own little following, or maybe it will fail miserably, but by that time none of us will care.

I was able to listen to this gentleman speak for about three minutes and then I had to stop listening. What is funny is I just invested more time listening to our friend in the OP's post than I will playing microsoft's "cool" game. UghI need a barf bag.

We're sorry, but that addon hasn't been released yet. It's still in beta testing. Once all the bugs are worked out it will be available in our online Store for only 1200 points.

I totally agree.... Not dissing on the average gamer, but this is exactly who microsoft is targeting....Not the FS fan
