Any tendancy to try to keep apps/addons 'in house' is a big mistake. Short term success maybe but will be long term failure once the 'masses' get over the novelty factor ...
One reason I also avoid Apple. (brilliant in many ways but I never buy into any controlled marketplace product as it restricts choice and is very unhealthy for a society)
Will wait 'n see about the Amazon Kindle .... but they'll bow to pressure as they have good connection with the market.
Let's really ... really .. hope MSFlight does not try to go down the 'in house' route where addons are controlled in any way by them ...
FS thrived to record breaking levels ONLY because it could be openly and freely added to .. Yes we now live in a different world in many ways ... but the essential is still there ...
That's my thing.
Do we REALLY know for certain that this is gonna happen.
Or how its gonna work?
Or anything concrete for that matter.
I agree if they close the door, they will probably lose a portion of their customer base. I love flying 3rd party aircraft, and enjoy the massive amounts of freeware aircraft out there.
If I have to pay for them, I prolly will not purchase it myself, and stick with FSX. (cuz FSX works fine for me)
I am in wait an see mode.
