Something is not making sense.

Maybe someone at the sales department said: "If we are only demanding 90€ from Indians because their income is lower, why don't we demand more from the Swiss. They are wealthy after all." 😉

Something is not making sense. The offficial site still shows $120USD.   Yet if you go to the MS Store and or Steam, its showing the increased price.  Does no one else have a price increase at the MS store or Steam?

Just went to steam....it's still showing the original prices for all variants.....

Weird. Thanks for confirming.  Must be some odd conversion bug messing around.

Haven't bought it Yet, but both MS USA & MS México show the same prices  as the last few days.
120.00 dlls & 2,794 mxp. (A tad higher due to the exchange rate they are using)

v?d=AIAAD4TDAVFCBDY3O6G5YZUYEMUVH4CCGJW7However, the release date on my MS page which I was directed to remains the 18th August

it seems you got a hoax email by the phrasing of the email, microsoft doesnt address clients in that way, just my feeling

The GAMES coming out on the 18th.

The sim will follow after approximately five years, when the payware stuff shows up. In the meantime, feel free to sit at your computer whilst wearing some shoulder boards and a pilot's cap, and be sure to lock the door to the room and have to unlock it when your partner brings you a cuppa. Then tell them to prepare the living/dining room for landing by clearing away all the plates and stuff. 🤣

Must admit, that thought occurred to me too and made me laugh a bit.
