Its fine and reasonable to have concerns, I know I do.

But to be bitter if it turns out to be great is just plain stupid.

At the end of the day i like flight sims, otherwise i wouldn't be posting here.....

you'ds have to define 'great' though... as some fanbois (of any genre) think a 15 fps slideshow, that is their (pick one, any one) game, is great

Actually that is a good indicator of a strong and versatile engine...built for some longevity as hardware advance in near future.

i noticed pay per play game can be run in any system while retail needs high end pcs

as a matter of fact when i see the loading screen takes so long i visualize just actually running a back counter underneath which is set on higher the older your system

Good observation and deduction...and I think Steam was doing that in the early days of the release

yeah scarry stuff i could be right about a conspiracy, ponder this:

why games dont offer to chop off graphic stuff till you can run a brand new game in a 10 year old system at 60 fps?

software and hardware industry are in collusion
