Oleg's Sims 10 years from now...

[fireflyerz]

The whole world will be one giant ww2 flight sim , Oleg will oversee all gameplay as Emperor and we will be his loyal goonies ever eager to please him by shooting down as many enemy AC in an 8 hour shift without going into overtime.

[Avimimus]

No, us Ударник won't be able to conceive of such a thing as overtime!

In 10 years time I will be 55 and will have been forcibly interned in a "Lifestyle Village" by my children, in-between nutritious meals of Soylant Green, I’ll will sit on my Harley Davidson Low Rider (flueled by ethanol distilled from fermented Soylant Yellow -the only useful thing you can do with the stuff) on my allocated square of artificial lawn and continue to rev the engine until someone complains about the noise. Then I will and pull them the Bird!

That being accomplished, I will go inside, don my leather flying helmet (containing synaptic interfaces) and play SOW (WITHOUT Mods!!!!!), through the InterWeb, against other Old Farts until the nurses come and sedate me!


Life will be Grand!

Honestly in 10 years the flightsim market might be dead.
Let's just hope SoW does well enough.

It's a niche within a niche.

Wasn't that Soylent Red instead ? Watched it too many years ago, but some sequences are memorable ...

Nope. The preferred food of the masses was Soylent Green: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green

Talk about 'being green' and 'recycling'.

Back on topic, I suspect that as others have suggested, the biggest change is likely to be with display technology, though what form this will take is anyone's guess. Any 'all round' display is going to have problems with binocular vision, unless combined with shutter-type goggles, so a system based on a separate 'screen' for each eye - again goggle-based, might make more sense. On the other hand, they might just implant a microchip into your optic nerves...
