mith Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That is disappointing and demonstrates a lack of forethought by the powers that be. I'll bet MS makes a lot of money on this though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4gix Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 One might even wonder if the supposed "new market" demographic research has taken into consideration that 8 to 13 year olds probably don't have much disposable income. You are making a conclusion based on a suspect assumption. As it happens, the vast majority using Flight are in the 20-60 year old demographic Bill Leaming http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Combat/0054.gif Gauge Programming - 3d Modeling Military Visualizations Flightsim.com Panels & Gauges Forum Moderator Flightsim Rig: Intel Core i7-2600K - 8GB DDR3 1333 - EVGA GTX770 4GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium Development Rig1: Intel Core i7-3770k - 16GB DDR3 - Dual Radeon HD7770 SLI 1GB - Win7 64bit Professional Development Rig2: Intel Core i7-860 - 8GB DDR3 Corsair - GeForce GTS240 1GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium NOTE: Unless explicitly stated in the post, everything written by my hand is MY opinion.

alaskancrab Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The demographic you should be looking at is there are probably just as many so called "hardcore" users are there are people who would never use it. actual normal distributions notice the symmetry as well on the polar ends :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxx Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 My "new market" demographic comment was sarcasm. I'll be more clear next time. Regardless of the demographic analytic, it seems to me a F2P game with a DLC business model should have DLC. Lots of DLC. That MSFlight doesn't atm, may be cause for concern in building brand presence and loyalty. "Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success." - Henry Ford.

It's very easy to make a facile remark like that when you're running a company that's made you a millionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one can only hope that MSFlight learns from Henry Ford's mistakes and begins offering something for sale besides black, DLC perhaps. It's very easy to make a facile remark like that when you're running a company that's made you a millionaire. I know. Money changes everything. Until it doesn't.

Was that a mistake by Henry Ford? Surely the Model-T made the company's (and his) fortune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
