May I? This is an easy one.
This 30+ year-old group you speak of takes this very seriously because it's the only place in their life where they feel like they escape from their crappy lives. Either work, the social life, or the marriage, or household is bringing them down to a point of self-medication. Enter Aces High II. They've had a crappy day all day then they get home, log on to Aces High where they immediately get shot down by some dude named "Beans" and they lose it!
The End
May I? Most of these crappy life guys you so easily put down have been flying flight sims longer than you have been walking the planet I would bet.Theres a community involved in that and they for the most part respect each other and have a good time in friendly fights.
Then comes along the PS,X BOX,Nintenduh kiddies with their squeeky,gamey,score fixated little attitudes and their my "MOM pays 14.95 a month so I dont CARE if you guys love the birds.I love the score."
This isnt air quake and was never intended to be so.Sadly thats what its turning into and the old guard is going down kicking and screaming.
To bad you little kiddies never saw a real community in a flight sim like AW had. This was close for many years,but the gamers are slowly out numbering the history buffs.
RIP Flight sims. The games being turned over to the kill at any cost crowd.
Truely,the end.
