There is currently mass hysteria because people can't play a game NOW

The actual problem is that the other side, the SELLER, has taken the BUYERS money NOW and NOT provided anything in return on the date it was agreed by contract to be available. 

I can't think of any more legitimate reason for a product to get a bad review than that it does not work in the first place. 

The software industry has been taking liberties for too long that would not be tolerated with conventional products. 

Of course it's just a GAME so just ask for a refund and when you get one I see no problem. It's not the end of the world. 

But yes yes, leave that bad review as it will cost them sales and that's the ONLY way they will learn.

This is why I'm waiting for a week. Why is anyone criticising MSFS for creaking under the extreme demand for this release? No one can afford or provides expensive cloud bandwidth for the 90% percentile bandwidth event. 

Because people have paid quite a chunk of money to play this game on release, after being hyped up with all the trailers. Offcourse its gonna blow up on steam no surprise.
 

Anyway, beancounters decisions probably, because they know traffic will even out after while so they save server costs… Money talks b…

There is a simple solution. Don't patronage companies that behave in a manner you don't like! There are other options for gaming or flight simming.

I watched a vrflightsimguy YT video. One of the comments said that Azure has "over 4 million servers". So I guess they need 16 million in order to make a meaningful difference.

 

Relax, they'll sort it out.

 

p.s. 7 hours later:

I'll take it all back, first evening flight and finally on my way in the Carenado. best flight ever. who said MSFS 2024 doesn't deliver 🤣

Azure has more than enough capacity to cope with this load, it's likely that MS just didn't assign enough of it to the launch.

It's notable for example that the XBox network used to download the initial (quite sizable) chunk of the sim was it's usual slow self but didn't collapse in a heap.

How is it possible that they sell a product for 70 dollars and it is not finished? Your discharge should be neat. Always the same. Money first and then the truth.

its calculated. more servers are more costs. in two weeks nobody will care about the launch disaster anymore

Wou, I knew that the download maybe would last 5 hours, and probably I do not was going to fly today, but yes navigating in the options, trying to configuring maybe with problems that I have corroborated in this release, because I was able to load that page in the beginning, and then got stuck, and it is the same like the Alpha to configure my Xbox gamepad..., or spend time watching planes in 2D and not in VR like always I am flying now.

But this, scare me..., and I was one of those that accepted maybe a possible "bugy" release like MSFS 2020 was, and I was insulted for that (nihilistic blablabla), and those post were full of likes hahaha.

Ok hope they have resolved this tomorrow and not a bigger problem with the Sim to download at least and only a solved server problem.
In 2024, "future" clouds gamings vs reality nowadays hardware. Things have to change much in "secret" technologies to the masses, to make real the cloud gamming.

Till the next update comes and servers crash once again. Stress tested a few weeks back obviously not enough. Correct me if wrong didn't they say the servers would have no problem.

It's called "Preorder MSFS2024" and was up for the last months. 😉

Exactly. Which is PRECISELY the purpose of the review system. To let others know who to trust with your cash.
