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.
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.
A Bittorrent based game you say?
Its almost as if they plan for this experience. Theyve done it multiple times now, you can only assume its intentional.
