Survey Says XXX

Clownish statements continue to pour in.. keep the comedy coming! Now "they" are "manipulating" and "fixing" the polls 🤣, I suppose when one yearns for their non-MSFS sim platform to do better then this sort of nonsense is bound to be spouted. Also ironic that the last two years surveys' results were dismissed as not that significant by the same group of people who're now eager for the next survey results... they're probably hoping the #s are worse for MSFS given 2024's buggy release 🙂 

Here's the thing.. whether the survey was/is conducted a month ago, now, or later, the overall MSFS usage isn't going to change much from last year's or the year before that (you know, those two surveys where a significant majority of the "serious" simmers taking the survey chose MSFS 2020 as their #1 platform). IMO what will change is the percentage/split between 2020 and 2024, but that's about it. 3rd party devs are still mostly or all-in for MSFS, only thing those devs are watching is whether to release both 2020 and 2024 versions of their addons or just 2024 only as the platform matures.

And despite all the noise, hyperbole, and FUD getting thrown around by the usual suspects, what's clear is that 2024 advances various aspects of core simming over 2020... and once the bugs are fixed to a good degree and stability is achieved, the survey is going to reflect that (especially when other popular 3rd party aircraft become compatible/native to 2024 like Fenix and iniBuilds aircraft are). And I'm going to predict that's going to be in the order of months, not years (for the free flight mode that is, not the career stuff).
