After the cluster fuck that was their previous release on top of the mass amount of actual DLC so I can't just buy the game and run with it, there was no way in hell I would buy this game.

The last flight Sim game that I had was flight simulator x, and honestly even that one if I hadn't got it as a gift I probably wouldn't have purchased because even that, the amount of DLC that it had was outrageous, I was lucky enough that I got it on disc so I'm not bombarded with them all the time, but I had looked at the steam page because I was curious about it and man was I in for a shock.

I wish I still had all the discs to my flight simulator 2004, it did basically the same exact thing that X did, and arguably was better than the previous iteration of flight simulator without all of the stupid paywalls. I just threw the disc in and it ran, didn't have to wait days for it to download, it didn't monopolize part of my drive and it didn't need a NASA supercomputer plus Internet to run
