The "private dev creativity space" looks bullshit to me. But can't blame them on not opening their bugtracker, it's too much openess compared to whay they are (badly) doing in PR. There's such a wide gap between their trailers (that always look amazing) and their "newsletter" that contradict itself from time to time without ever acknowledging it.
Asobo (msfs dev) has its flaws, but at least they know how go communicate about bugs (and they have some activity there) and roadmap. They also do dev q&a.
And it's not about "Microsoft money", it's some work, but it's not a 20 person team or anything like that to run it.
It's a cool game you can even check it out for free on their website. Have a look!
You can use your HOTAS and trackir! Hardware support is AWESOME.
Nuff said. For now. Follow us and find out more!
