November 20, 20241 yr I see this as Jayne, as the Sr. Community Manager at Microsoft was seeing first hand the complaints and furious customers about the day one experience and escalated the situation to Jorg who is the top guy at Microsoft. He in turn reaches out to Sebastian who is the CEO of Asobo essentially asking offensive initials not allowed Seb?? You can tell that Seb is spewing a lot of technical gibberish excuses about servers and overloading and all that BS but you can tell Jorg and Jayne are really word not allowed with Asobo and this whole situation.
November 20, 20241 yr I don't think I can remember any AAA-game having a 'good launch'. I remember World of Warcraft in 2004. Endless queuing and waiting for their servers to catch up... Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
November 20, 20241 yr Haha this reminds me of World of Warcraft back in 2000 on launch.... but the queue video is amazing. Edited November 20, 20241 yr by MikeH99

November 20, 20241 yr If Microsoft says that "2020" "sold so well" with "millions of downloads" and so on... how come they didn't expect such a huge number of users yesterday? hmmmmmmm...... 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024

I was thinking that myself, I’m wondering if it has to do with the numbers of game pass users who didn’t buy the game so perhaps weren’t properly accounted for? I expected it was probably going to go this way. Possibly not quite as badly. It seems to go this way with almost all large launches these days, I always wait a few days for the dust to settle. It’s far less stressful! Anthony Milner

Sorry but this is on Jorgs head, he is the Lead Developer, he is in charge of all the teams working on the project, he is ultimately responsible for failings. It's his job to make sure things run as smoothly as possible at launch, but alas here we are. It's yet another example of poor lead management, it happened often with MSFS2020 and it's still happening now. Maybe he's got too much on his plate, maybe he's got pressure from the suits at MS above him, maybe he's not cut out for such a large project and needs help. Either way the buck falls with him, again.

No one considered orders vs opening day demand? What a joke. After the release of FSX in october 2006 there was no news, rumor, or even hope for a new msfs version. Until 14 years(!) later when a new MS flightsimulator surprisingly popped up, MSFS2020. And you are complaining about 1 day??? Let that sink in for a moment please. What a joke.
