This is the same as train sim, there’s no need to have all addons and each one has lots of work put into, they’re not only different 3d models and textures

It’s a flight sim… The price should be no surprise.

It’s niche genre and needs expensive hardware. So price is justified. Also accessories cost more than game.

Aviator includes something like 200 aircraft so…

if you actually knew how microsoft flight simulator is like to play then you wouldn’t be complaining about the price. MSFS is worth every cent.

Game is mostly streamed because of the crazy amount of details and 1:1 earth scale so that you won’t need a dedicated 4Tb disk just for it, that’s a huge server cost to keep running while also wanting to make a profit like any other game, need to get that money somewhere.
If you’re a MSFS enthusiast that cost is nothing but if you don’t plan to spend months on the game you’re better off getting it through Game Pass.

It’s a lot just for a licence.

If you understood how much development goes into each aircraft and how the game operates with Azure cloud streaming, then you wouldn’t be shocked. I’m honestly surprised it’s not a subscription given how the game is essentially a cloud service.

Commercial and private pilots actually use this to train and practice. I didn’t even realize non-pilots played this as a game until the last one came out and all the YouTubers were ranting and raving about it, I had always thought it was a training program mainly for pilots.

It’s on Xbox for PC game pass

This or Game Pass. Easy choice

You know, you can also buy a VW Golf for 75.000€. But the good thing is, that you actually dont need the premium ultra deluxe master3000 edition of something.

Another one of these posts who don’t understand how modular simulators work.

Yeah I don’t think simulators are for you then. Don’t look up DCS prices
That’s not new for Flight sim, the target audience see it as good value.
It’s a game for people who role-play as real pilots, it’s hard core.

“Premium Deluxe” That deserves a meme on its own 😛

these shouldn’t be looked as typical “games”.

Those are the Aviator and Deluxe Premium editions.
The base app is still $60, and it currently half off in the XBox store on PC.

I think it’s over priced and I’m an avid user of MSFS. They’re releasing this 4 years after their 2020 version, because that was developed in such a way which has prevented some fairly fundamental features to be missing and they’re unable to implement without an overhaul.
This is the overhaul.
Also, they’ve added features such as career mode. In my opinion, leave that to the third party devs – a flight sim dev should focus on creating the best possible core sim which allows high quality third party add ons.

This is the one game I don’t mind paying that much because literally it has the world as the map

FS is not representative of other games. It’s a simulator with a very tight, dedicated audience – an audience that are more than willing to spend literally hundreds of thousands to setup a fully integrated flight simulation system at home.
Sim games are for a specific type of people. A type of person who has the money to spend on expensive setups.

Are you fucking serious? A child? Have no idea about anything regarding tech/software?
From the above: Sublogic advertised that the $25 FS1 “is a visual flight simulator that gives you realistically stable aircraft control”, with a graphics engine “capable of drawing 150 lines per second”
$25 in 1980 is $100 today, for a basic af flight sim that is literally incomparable to what we have available to us today. How much did you pay for your hardware and are you aware of the idea that software can in fact be valuable too?

That’s cheap. Look at the cost of Sims 4 DLCs
