Come on man, this release is a real disappointment.

Ok

Of course it is a known issue, any person buying on steam has this issue.

The thing is, are they going to take a look at all the complaints and make improvements based on them?

It is not negativity that might kill it, it is sloppy and shoddy work creators and sellers of this product did.

So all in all, do you think buying MSFS2020 from Steam is better choice? I am seriously asking because have not made my mind up yet.

I wanted to buy from the Steam, but I got discouraged by many bad reviews that have emerged today on the steam and opted for Microsoft. Now I dont know what I should do.

Check the reviews on the steam first. They do not look great.

There are like two options when buying it from Microsoft right? 1. One is accessing it by subscribint go Xbos pass 2. The other one is just buying it the full amount, right? I just hope that when I buy the full game, I do not activate somehow the game pass and pay additional one dollar every month.

I would say it became some kind of habit of my to use steam for games. All in all, it the simulator that is really important not my loyalty to steam for buying every single thing.

Glad to hear that. Hope you will be enjoying it. I will buy straight from Microsoft then.

Yeah and from statistical point of the view, the amount of reviews is not that high yet.

Thanks for letting me know.

Yes they are, but in order to focus on in-game experience you should not be dealing with technical issues imho. That is the disappointment for many.

Ok, my mistake.

And that is exactly what is happening.

I have to agree.

The problem is that the simulator became a game. It is licensed in a game. Aviation aficionados are replaced by gamers. Correct me if I am wrong but the actual flying experience can be switched from realistic to "non-realistic" meaning plane will behave differently just to suit the incapabilities of flying skills of the gamers? Why focus development on non-realistic aircraft behaviour at all? Moreover I see a lot of bad review on steam, I am going to stick with FSX for now and enjoy my PMDG 777 and aerosoft A319. Great scenery is not everything.

I am constantly taking a look at MSFS2020 on the Steam throughout today, the reviews went from very positive to mixed - which is very bad indicator. I know, reviews below 1K is not much yet. When reading the reviews, many complain of technical issues - such as buying premium deluxe edition and not having all the content, contacting steam support and steam support telling to contact microsoft and then the microsoft telling the opposite; buying it on steam but having to create x-box account etc.). I do not think this is a good reputation for a high-profile product such as this one to have several screw-ups during the official release. I wonder if the publisher will be either willing to reimburse the unsatisfied buyers or going to give them some kind of compensation, discount, additional premium content down the line. Seems to be extremely buggy and I start to think about postponing my purchase. I was battling with my emotions which told me to buy this product straight away, on the other hand I wanted to see what the people will be talking about it just after the release. My question is, if you have not bought MS2020 yet, are you going to buy it on steam or will you rather buy it straight from Microsoft?

So when PMDG makes a model for MSFS2020, you will say that is is very very very good?

In terms of simulation itself such as aircraft behaviour, movement, delay, response, physics, etc...., is MSFS2020 even better simulation software than those that are used by airlines in their training facilities? Or to be more precise, when we see those simulators that airlines use for training of pilots (I do not know how they are called), what software are they running? Do they run FSX, P3D, or are they going to run MSFS2020? Thanks.

I agree.

Do you think it would give me a little bit better playing experience in contrast to FSX? (I mean I do not expect 4K graphics, but upgraded scenery, nature and cities is something I am looking for).

What is a game pass? (ok I know now) Is there a game pass on steam? I see only pre purchase option.

I have no problem with buying a better graphic card but the problem with more powerful ones is that they are bigger and they simply do not fit into my case. They would also interfere with sata cables. That is the issue for me unfortunately. :(
