First item under Microsoft's new "Flight Simulator Insider" under the
heading Flight Sim Tweaks FAQ:

The Flight Simulator team offers up some information on how to tweak your
game. >> Learn more.

So Microsoft thinks of FS as a "game"?

Bruce Artwick never called it a "game".

It's written by the Games Department so it's a game.

(Alternatively, you get fired for doing it at work so it's either a game
or porn. :-)

I'd like to give those twits a piece of my mind!
Game. Who are they to call it a game?
Don't they know the difference between a sim and a game?

In a sim one simulates a part of life.
In a game one collects points or plays with the objective to win by getting
to the finish first.
