So a studio owned by the company that also owns the azure infrastructure and has real time access to sales data was caught by surprise by the sales of their game and failed to boot up a couple more Vms to serve paying customers... Right, sounds totally legit and not penny pinching at all.

Were they really caught by surprise when it happened last launch? I think not. Its intentional.

Wont buy it until its redesigned. I recommended those that have get a refund.

The annoying thing with MSFS 2020 was how much it downloaded in app, which chewed through your playtime counter in Steam. Didn't make it impossible but made it so the auto approval would deny you.
