Sad but true..

It has been clear for some time.. Eversince EA anounced they were cancling the A10 project some 10+ years ago flight simmers had to come to grips with the fact that flight sim games are not the best selling games.. Clearly 1C knows this.. And knowing that they know they need to pull in some other paying customers so they can continue to do what they love.. flight sims

If that is what 1C is up to than I am all for it

If they think they can make ONE game for ALL.. That is to say make the groud vehicals as detailed and realistic as the aricraft.. Than my fear is they will fail like all those before them that tried this.. Because truth be told, when you try to be all things to all people.. What you end up with is something that does no one thing very well.. To put it short.. Jack of all trades master of none.
