MODERATORS
By underestimated excitement they meant player count straining their ridiculous approach of streaming massive amounts of data through the game instead of preinstalling.
I'm calling it now: for Flight Simulator 2025, they're going to pull a Windows update "energy saver" and have it stream data peer-to-peer wherever possible.
A Bittorrent based game you say?
I think they'll go full terminal mode on the next iteration. You'll download a 100MB launcher and then just do cloud gaming from there.
Its almost as if they plan for this experience. Theyve done it multiple times now, you can only assume its intentional.
