Wow.. made it to the final page.
Lots of speculation from the drama department as usual I see.
Just keep the blinders on.
The first game I played online was a "flight sim", and I remember the first time ..shooting down some pixels on the screen that formed the shape of a plane. But it was SO much more than that. I knew that there was someone sitting at their computer shaking their heads (with a slight feeling of humiliation or disgust) as their plane crashed to the earth. And this feeling still continues just as strong when I'm shooting down planes years later.
When this is all put together and "done", and I shoot down a spitfire, drill a bomb into the cavity of a tank, or hit the old guy driving needed ammo to an airfield's tea party, I can have that same satisfaction that got me interested in the first place ...to know that I just ruined another
human's day with my trusted 109

it's awesome..
Friday Updates are great, thanks!
