There's another thread here where someone posted information indicating that the online usage of MSFS is down over 90% from its peak. This is a fairly typical pattern for video games so MS is probably not too worried. However I'm sensing that the serious flightsim segment (which can't be more than 5 or 10% of the installed MSFS user base) is also drifting away, as unfixed bugs continue to fester.
October 19, 20205 yr This sim is like playing golf...you go out one day and can't hit that white little pill for anything and throw your clubs in the creek or wrap a wedge around a tree, then you go out the next day and have a fine round which feeds the need to fire it up again the next day and the circle of life continues.

And how do you sense that exactly? And also, whats a "serious simmer"? Edited October 19, 20205 yr by leprechaunlive

If golf was like flightsimming one day you would wake up to find that your five iron has become left-handed, the wind blows in a different direction than the forecast, the water hazards have six foot waves and the cups have been silently upgraded to be smaller than the diameter of the ball and relocated to the nearest sand trap.

Data base don believes or feelings has nothing to do with statistic. I think Navigraph did survey that can be used to determine statistical data based on sample size of user who participated. If they would do it again then we can go from there. Also there is no formal definition of "serious simmers". Some may think they are but they are may be not. And some think they are not and may be they actually are! LOL Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

Those figures are in no way confirmed by Steam Spy for this title. The figures are slightly down on online usage but by no more than a few percent since launch and are actually much better in retaining online usage than most of the other online games out there. As to what you define as a "serious simmer".. then if you have to make that kind of outrageous statement and then fail to back it up with your defenition.. I have to assume that you are just posting for effect 🙂 Graham System specs...
