Here's the YT link for that video, doesn't take as long to load.

From what I've read, M$ is going to focus on gaming and game console type products from now on. Might be why the word "Simulator" is no longer part of the title.

This is a decent article on their announcement:

Either way, I don't think we're getting FS11, ever......

Yeah, I found the absence of the word "simulator" conspicuous too...

I have a gut feeling that this is going to be basically an online gaming thing.

According to a friend on the "inside" it is going to be similar to the XBOX format of gaming programs...therefor no such luck in continuing the traditions of MSFS...
