How exactly is your experience or even your installation harmed when other guys install weapons, scenery or something else to their PCs?
It is not harmed at all. I absolutely accept the existence of combat flight simulators. Should everyone install, what he prefers. I can live with that. But I personally don't like war games.
And maybe an additional one.
How is this global "peace" influenced if you or somebody else installs weapons or anything related to it into his simulator?
Most probably, this little add-on will not change anything, I agree with you. It is just a question of attitude.
Do you think the game changed because you can shoot now? I could bet that your FSX installation still is the same and always will be until you change something in it. So your freedom isn't harmed at all while this strict "please develop something else" appeal actually does harm the freedom of other guys. ;)
Well I suggest CaptainSim to use their energies to improve their recent products. And there is enough to do, be honest. To point out this fact is not "harming people's freedom". It is a customer's right to ask for the improvement of known issues of products.
So one part of this peace you may be talking about should be the freedom to actually chose if you buy, use or like stuff, doesn't it?
We're talking about a simulator here, nothing which influences other people's lives, so the moral aspect of weapons in this thing is very weak in my eyes and shouldn't be stressed too much since this is just a game. |
Well obviously I'm in a weak position, like the "old europe" (George W. Bush) was some years ago. Perhaps it is because I am german. And we have a very unhappy history (like many other nations btw, with the difference that Germany has drawn the consequences while many others did not). But I agree with you, it's just a game or better, a piece of entertainment software. Things should not be stressed too much. So let's go flying. Stefan
