According to Flightsimx and Gamasutra, Microsoft has shutdown the ACES game studio and axed the entire staff.

What now? X-Plane might be very happy with the news but a lot of people, including myself, wants the fact that FS11 will be released. Now those “wants” are gone. Yep, we have FS9 and FSX and that is great but still, flightsim community is not the same without microsofts flight simulators. I mean new ones

The community seems to have noticed and popular sites such as AVSim and Sim Outhouse are waking up to the new reality. Hundreds of thousands of people just had their hobby put on hold. But like Mark said in his website FlightSimX “A lot of developers are struggling to produce add-ons for both FSX and FS2004 and must have been thinking they’d have to start working on FS11 at some point. This may actually give the market a chance to settle down a bit.” news might actually be very good. To developers eh..

What’s your thoughts about this?
