Next they need custom player models.

Imagine if Flight Simulator 2024 ended up being the sleeper killer social app of the decade. How surreal would that be? Like, if you showed me that screenshot without context, I’d think I was looking at a new hitman or second life: third life or something.

"The way I think of this now, it really just comes down to, how good is the data we get, and how much are we throwing at it. I mean, for example, I’m currently on the, I call it the living world. We added hundreds of species of animals that run around. I worked on things like Zoo Tycoon…we have tons more animals than the native zoo game, and it’s just a tiny little feature in Flight Simulator, but it feels like, oh yeah, we can do that.

“Right now, we have every ship on Earth, right? Every ship on Earth sends us a transponder signal… you can land on every ship, and it looks like a first person shooter environment. I think we’re in a new era of making games that I think are going to break new ground, from a scale and complexity perspective.”

Dude, what are you actually trying to make right now? Like, this isn’t flight sim stuff anymore.
