Why do you think flight simulator is a "game"?

Of course it is a game, you get unlimited lives.

They could offer a Serious Edition which is limited to one life. If you crash and die, that's it, no more sim for you. As real as it gets!! 🙃

I use the flight simulator for fun. It is 100% a game for me. Such as rfactor etc.

A pilot, who uses the simulator for training may have another opinion.
