It's not called MSFS2020. Change my mind.

The development team, as well as all the media pertaining to the new Microsoft Flight Simulator has been explicit with respect to the title of the project. It is NOT called "FS2020" or any derivative thereof.

What will it take to get Avsim (and others) to stop inventing titles?

I think the chosen title makes perfect sense. It makes clear its association to the original Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise, and the lack of a date qualifier at the end reinforces the revolutionary versus evolutionary nature of the reboot.

A burning first world issue!

Because a flight simulator forum is where one comes to discuss burning first world issues?

The very first version from '82 was literally "Microsoft Flight Simulator".  So by 2019, 37 years later, its valid to use "FS2020" !! 

[Wobbie 938]

I think not.. Greazer.. 

It was literally called Flight Simulator 1.0

It was not published by Microsoft. 

Made up names are never valid.

I was going to say that but I read the whole thread first. Thanks for saving me the time and trouble of posting something that has already been said.

 

Oh wait, that's S.O.P. around here.

Oh no, the self-appointed name police is here, better run

It's Black Friday in many parts of the world.  Shouldn't you all be out shopping?

I'm just going to call it my sim.  This is ridiculous.

This arrogance of thumb-sucked names disrespecting Microsoft originated, & gained traction here at Avsim.

Dear G_d, No.. Flight tanked.. Not going down that road, and I'm sure that Microsoft is not going to change the name of their sim.
