Well it just so happens that the group of people in question dont watch videos of games online

So the argument is moot for making casual videos as they will never be seen by the casual audience

Game trailers and walkthroughs are only for hardcore gamers who know where to look.

anyone outside of that sphere only finds games at the store or luckily on TV on a commercial

Didn't I just say that? And what footage do you think they might use for commercials? Maybe the same trailers we see on the internet?

BUT...the more casual gamers are only going to buy what is shoved in front of them. This is why the marketing team has pushed the arcade mode so much. They know what we are all talking about here. They know what we want, and they have promissed it to us. We just have to trust them to deliver it. And they will, lest they ruin their reputations.

I liked your post but specially this part.
Good point.

Guys, that's silly.
Flight sim lovers will definetly play demo, and will be able to get their opinion before buying the game.
Casual players have to be convinced, that even demo is not too hard and worth playing.
That's why all videos are in Arcade mode.
It is reasonable, and that's why it is so.

So, please, stop ask for a sim video - it is useless. I guess, you'll play demo in any case, even if we'll make 100 more Simulation videos, huh?

That's my point exactly. It's a game first and foremost. We need people to play it!

arcade vids are fine but it would be nice to see a full length dogfight

See you say this but when you look at youtube comments of the videos or comments on another forum, hardly any (if at all) say something like "glad theres arcade mode" Mostly its comments asking about the games SIM mode and realism. So im not convinced the "mass market" do want to see arcade mode.

Agreed, ofcourse it would be nice to see some simulation footage but as you said we are all going to download the demo before the games launch, so we will see what it's like then.
