CaptStubing I think you must read my post again.
Let me repeat: Profit is a relevant concept.
1.000.000 euros might be nothing for multi-billion Microsoft corporation and thus not find a reason to make a product with such profit, but on the other hand it might be the dream of many-many...many people in the world. I guess there must be more than 6.000.000.000 (yes, six billion) people in this earth that would dream of making a million euros out of 10 years work.
Therefore I guess you understand that there will always be room for those who have the skills to make a flight simulator. It's the skills that are missing from the gaming industry to produce a new flight sim, not the small profit that comes of them.
Closing this post, I will agree that there is not much room for bad flight simulators. And that's why game companies do not risk their money on them easily. They know they can publish a bad sports game (I really wonder what kind of creatures buy EA's sports games lol), or a bad RTS game and sell millions of copies, but they also know they can't sell a bad flight sim.
