I already paid basically the full price of the game by subscribing to the Gamepass thing for a few months when it came out.... then I got rid of Gamepass... and now I don't have the game any more. So it means I am basically having to pay 2 x price for the game. And I'm not going to.

That's what happens when you do something silly like using Gamepass

sure I'll renew and make the same mistake again - and end up paying a fortune and still not permanently owning the game.

Exactly... fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice... shame on me

I tried Flight Simulator for a week or so, but in no way would I consider it a game. It takes itself very seriously which is what the flight sim community wants and expects. Personally, I got bored because there isn't any actual gaming to be had in my opinion, it's a sim pure and simple, whereas if I had a genuine interest in flying I can see how much more I would get from learning the aircraft controls, procedures, the garmin systems, the other autopiloting systems, all of the different approaches etc.

@geogan was gamepass just for flight simulator ? I thought the appeal of it was the whole bundle witch is good if you where planning to play the games and never return to em again.

Yeah, right, the problem is for gamers it is very boring..... and for a so called flight simulator it is still a game...

Yes I got it just for Flight Simulator - no interest in anything else on there at all - I think an awful lot of people did... and Microsoft knew this.... they really emphasized the fact that this new greatest ever flight sim was available for "only" €9.99 on Gamepass, instead of having to pay €60 - €100+ or what ever the full cost was upfront - they knew what they were doing.
