What's causing the sudden downfall of MSFS 2024 on Steam, and how did the developers misjudge player interest?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 lately, but not in a good way. The Steam reviews have taken a nosedive and are now ‘Overwhelmingly Negative’. What’s going on?

I’m curious about a few things:

  1. What are the main complaints from players?
  2. Did something change in a recent update?
  3. How did the devs ‘completely underestimate’ the excitement for the game?

If anyone has been playing MSFS 2024 or following this situation closely, I’d love to hear your thoughts. It seems like such a dramatic turn of events for what was supposed to be a major release.

Thanks for any info you can share!

Sounds like a combination of bugs, performance problems, and unmet expectations.

Maybe they pushed it out too fast to hit a release date.

Hope they can patch things up and turn it around.

Whoa, that’s a big shift for MSFS 2024.

I heard there were performance issues and bugs at launch. Maybe that’s why players are upset?

Sometimes hype can backfire if the game doesn’t live up to expectations.

Man, MSFS 2024 is a mess right now. I’ve been following it closely and it’s a perfect storm of issues. Terrible optimization, game-breaking bugs, and missing features that were promised.

The devs hyped it up way too much and couldn’t deliver. Feels like they rushed it out to meet some deadline.

Hopefully they’ll fix it up over time, but the damage is done. Players are pissed and I don’t blame them.

Yeah, I’ve been keeping an eye on MSFS 2024 too. Seems like they rushed it out the door before it was ready. Lots of games have rocky launches these days, but this one sounds pretty bad. Hope they can patch it up soon and win back some goodwill.

Wow, that’s rough for MSFS 2024. Seems like another case of overhyping and underdelivering. I’ve seen this happen with other big releases too. Bugs and performance issues can really tank a game’s reception at launch. Fingers crossed they can patch it up and win back some fans.
